The Other Side
Created: 09/08/06
I bought this book because I was looking for something that started before the pioneers went west. Most authors seem to dwell on just the plains Natives and the struggles the europeans had with them. I am of Choctaw heritage(mostly), I was looking for some books that covered the southeastern Natives. If the eastern Natives are covered, it is just the northern ones. I wanted to find out more about my people and their customs. I got a lot more.
This book was absolutely great in expressing the Native view point; even though it did not cover my peoples as much as I had hope. I am very proud to add it to my collection and would definitely recommend it for 'have to read'.
I was very pleased to see a lot of things in the book that my grandfather had told us about that contradicted what we were taught in school. I wish the schools were forced to teach history the way this book was written not just the europeans side. I grew up being ashamed of my heritage and thinking that the old people told 'just stories' because of the way it is taught in schools.
I love the art and the way the pictures show what I was told about the old ways.
I love reading the legends that I remember my great grand people telling at family gatherings.
This book was very well done.

The photographs are beautiful, the knowledge shared within the book and examples given are moving as they come from Native Americans. A wonderful book for research and for history buffs.
