"I used the story about using the chick-a-dee to check the seasons as an example of folklore forecasting for my Weather and Climate class. My prof had never heard of it before. There's a great quote in here about the importance of hair in Native American culture as well. It's a beautiful little book, despite some of Pretty-shield's faults."
"The following statements are in order of how confident I am in them, from most to least: You will like this book. You will think about your own lifestyle as a result of this book. You will learn something from this book. You will believe every story told in this book. This is a successful way to write a review.
PS I've read Pretty-Shield before and am certain I will read it again many times."
"I read this in collage, and I don't really remember what it's all about but I liked it. Good read for anyone interested in cultures and an indepth look at a specific place in time."
