Lakota Woman by Mary Crow Dog, Richard Erdoes

challenging emotional informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

Mary Crow Dog's story brought me a whirl of emotions. The details surrounding Leonard Crow Dog's treatment in jail and other violent interactions with white people or goon squad members were devastating to read. But learning about AIM's efforts at Wounded Knee and the spiritual work that other folks like Leonard Crow Dog were involved in as well as the complex dynamics that existed in these spaces brought me a different perspective about AIM and its members.
