I really love the artwork by S.D. Nelson in Buffalo Bird Girl, and the repeated line, “I learned by watching and then doing,” as Buffalo Bird Girl describes the every day life of the Hidatsa with tenderness and grace.

Pickpick

Born in the 1830's, Buffalo Bird Girl lived along the Missouri River with the Hidatsa, Mandan, and Arikara people. Told with paintings, drawings, period photographs and quotes from Buffalo Bird Girl, this is a beautiful look at daily life before the reservation.

An extensive author's note, selected timeline, bibliography, and index make this a story to dig into.
