About this title

From the Publisher:

"This book makes me remember the times in my youth when all of the old-timers were living still. I can remember the fear and the admiration I felt when I was in their presence...This book expresses the Indian spirit because it combines the best photographs ever taken of old-time chiefs with some of their best words. You can meet these old-timers and share their wisdom. People who read this book will better understand our sacred ways."—Thomas Yellowtail
