Bog beskrivelse
The oldest living Crow at the dawn of the twenty-first century, Lillian Bullshows Hogan, grew up on the Crow reservation in rural Montana. In The Woman Who Loved Mankind she enthralls readers with stories from her long and remarkable life and the stories of her parents, part of the last generation of Crow born to nomadic ways. As a child Hogan had a miniature tepee, a fast horse, and a medicine necklace of green beads; she learned traditional arts and food gathering from her mother and experienced the bitterness of Indian boarding school. As an adult she drove a car, maintained a bank account, and read the local English paper, but she spoke Crow as her first language, practiced beadwork, tanned hides, and often visited the last of the old chiefs and berdaches with her family. Though she married in the traditional Crow way and was a proud member of the Tobacco and Sacred Pipe societies, she also helped establish a Christian church on her reservation. Hogan’s stories are warm, funny, heartbreaking, and brimming with information about Crow life. Hogan told her stories to her daughter, Mardell Hogan Plainfeather, and to Barbara Loeb, a scholar and longtime friend of the family whose record of her words stays true to Hogan’s expressive speaking rhythms with its echoes of traditional Crow storytelling.
