I just finished reading Ohitika Woman by Mary Brave Bird. It was something to read.... down and dirty at times... but honest too.... its by the same author as Lakota Woman... though her name then was Mary Crow Dog. Its just one woman's story of the struggles of the Native Americans... but its a powerful one.
I did not find this book as insighful as her first one. Whereas her first book captured a movement, this one captured more of Mary Brave Bird's own personal narrative. Mary Brave Bird does write important words from a feminist Native American perspective that is always enjoyable to read.
This is the story of Mary Crow Dog (still waiting to find out why her name is now Brave Bird) 15 years after Lakota Woman. I love it so far.
To me, not as good as Lakota Woman, but this sequel is a great book to answer any questions remaining after reading Lakota Woman.
Sequel to Lakota Woman -- how her life has changed and how she has grown and more recent Native American life.
