Book Reviews of On the Rez
Book Review: A Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful, beautifully written book about life on the Pine Ridge Reservation, filled with fascinating, inspiring stories of the Sioux Indians that live there. Frazier has chapters relating a good deal of tribal history (such as the conflicts at Wounded Knee) as well as background on how the entire reservation system came to be. He also relates many of his own experiences with one member of the tribe, Le War Lance, which are often extremely funny, sometimes poignant, but always engrossing. While it does not avoid the current plight of the Sioux (alcoholism, poverty, etc.), On the Rez gives a portrait of an incredibly strong and resiliant people. This book should be treasured by those with an interest in American history (or any genre for that matter). It is a great book, written by a master.
