Camping in tipis, wearing traditional clothing, and participating in dancing competitions at the Crow Fair and Rodeo are some of the ways in which Clarence Tree Irons celebrates the present-day version of Buffalo Days.

Diane Hoyt-Goldsmith is the art director of Square Moon Productions, a book design and development company. She lives with her husband, a son, and a daughter in Orinda, California.
Hoyt-Goldsmith and Migdale (the team behind Celebrating Kwanzaa, 1993, etc.) offer a portrait of a young Crow Indian boy--Clarence Three Irons, Jr., a.k.a. Indian--living in Lodge Grass, Montana. Indian's father raises cattle and horses, and manages the Crow buffalo herd. The buffalo has always been a critical element in Crow culture and the herd's return from near- extinction is an important link for the Crow with their past. The ways in which the Crow have preserved and extended their cultural heritage is Hoyt-Goldsmith's focus, including the annual round-up reflecting the grand buffalo days--the fair and rodeo offering a chance to build and camp in tipis, don ceremonial garb, and attend to sacred dances. Clarence's is a fascinating life, and the only drawback to this book--which is studded with sharp full- color photographs--are the occasional lapses into wooden prose. On the whole, though, this is an evocative depiction. (maps, glossary, index) (Picture book/nonfiction. 8-12) -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
