Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Lakota world was a far-reaching territory that was home to the Lakota people. The life path for sons flowed in two directions that were closely linked to each other: every boy grew up to be a hunter and a warrior, a provider and a protector. #2 The father sang a welcoming song for his new son. The journey began. #3 The son of Crazy Horse and Rattling Blanket Woman was no different than any Lakota child, except in one way. He had thick, shiny black hair that stayed black for most of his adulthood. #4 The Lakota people had a tradition of giving children names that reflected their characteristics. When a boy had brown hair and the color of his skin was lighter than usual, it meant trouble. But his mother gave him a name that would help him blend in with the other children.
