Before there were cowboys, there were the Indians. From early-creation legends about great chiefs, to the Trail of Tears, Classic Native American Stories offers an intimate look into the lives of those indigenous people of our country. With narratives by and about some of the most famous Native Americans ever known--Crazy Horse, Pocahontas, and Sitting Bull--to some lesser-known names, these people all had one thing in common: a deep love for their land. In this timeless collection, author Stephen Brennan takes readers on the ride of their lives as they experience the hardships Native Americans had to deal with by picking up and moving on so that the White Man could take over their land. Experience the exhiliration of a heart-pounding big-game hunt on horseback, or partake in elaborate spiritual ceremonies and rituals. Some of these stories are well known, while others are not--but one thing's for certain: Classic Native American Stories will inspire you to think deeply about your country and its rich history.
