Native American Suggested Reading List

This is a reading list I've made from a class taken in college (still have and love these books).  Feel free to look up these authors also.  You'll find some other books and information about their tribes also.

If others know of books that would be good to add here, email me and I'll put them in. 

Books by Native Americans (though occasionally with co-authors who aren't NA)
and about Native American Tribes


Black Elk Speaks Re: Oglala Sioux medicine man, as told by John Neihardt. In conjunction with Black Elk's son who translated from Lakota to English. 

Lakota Woman by Mary Crow Dog with Richard Erdoes (Re: Sioux)  (She married Leonard Crow Dog-NA Movements's Med Man in 1970's).

Ohitika Woman by Mary Brave Bird with Richard Erdoes.  (Re: Sioux also )(Hint: Mary Brave Bird married L. Crow Dog thus same author as Lakota Woman's author but diff last names.) -THis book picks up where Lakota Woman leaves off.
