Pressestimmen
'This book is ideal fare for the reader who has always wanted a source that illuminates the rich history and diversity of Sioux culture - one that includes insightful lessons in cross-cultural understanding.' W. Raymond Wood, University of Missouri 'Guy Gibbon's The Sioux: The Dakota and Lakota Nations is the first attempt to write about the Sioux from prehistory to the present in a single volume. This book is a valuable starting point for readers interested in Sioux history and culture.' Raymond J. DeMallie, Indiana University "Readable and sophisticated, this book covers both the famous western Sioux of the plains (Lakota) and the less well known forest dwelling eastern Dakota, from the earliest humans in their Minnesota homeland (9500 BCE) to 2000 CE. Suitable as a text, the book engages general readers too." Choice

Very good introduction to Sioux history... but a bit frustrating
23. Februar 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a very good introduction to Sioux history, from Prehistory to today. It's not often that you find a history of the Sioux Nation spanning from so far to so close. It follows all the changes in the society caused by migrations, contacts with other people and other habitats, both inside and outside evolutions. For this alone, I'd recommend the book.
It is a bit technical especially at the beginning, and it does use a technical language here and there, but on the whole it's very readable. It touches upon all the more important aspects of this society though its history, and sometime also the less obvious and familiar matters. I'd say you'll find in here all you need to be aware of in regards to Sioux people.
But...
Yes, there is a big `but'.
The author states in the beginning he will raise questions more than give answers, because this is the essence of the researcher. What he wants to do is rouse the reader's curiosity more than quench it.
Although I understand this in theory, in practice, as a reader, I was always left unsatisfied. The author started a lot of very interesting topics, but just when I was getting into the matters - he left me to myself. He never gave a complete information on any topic, nor information that sounded complete, so I always fest a bit cheated. I didn't need to be told `Look, there's a lot of interesting things you don't know, but you can learn' (which is something I already know). I hoped I'd have an opportunity to learn at least some of those things from `this' book.
So, if you're looking for an introduction to the Sioux Nation, this is a good place to start, because it does give you all the basics. If you're looking for something more in depth... this may not be the book for you.

Indigenous pop!
13. Mai 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The histories of the Sioux nation and other Native American tribes were recorded by a series of woodcut and ink methods, the limitations of which formed the unique art style of the North American tribal nations. These thin strips of wood were easily stored and protected and the respective legends and stories could easily be copied and transferred on these wooden veneers.
Only a few of these veneers survive in museums today, as they are prone to the usual long term storage problems associated with wood. However, the practice is a well known technique used in most Amerindian and Navajo tribes and can still be found in practice for the tourism trade around the American states that still retain a native heritage.
The histories that the Sioux nation pass on with heroics and stories from the past are stored on these veneers, and most of the material in this book has been decrypted and presented for the readers delectation. In fact, the Sioux wood cuts are probably the most sought after due to their deeper and more refined symbolism used in the veneers.
The true collector knows the value of these Sioux veneers and in some cases they become as vicious and tenacious in their Sioux veneer hunting as the very people they are describing in the stories.
A very good book, made of paper and using words you already know, and some unfamiliar ones, just arranged a little bit differently. Recommended.
