Pretty Shield: Medicine Woman of the Crows
Pretty Shield: Medicine Woman of the Crows by Frank B. Linderman
Originally copyrighted in 1932, this book was first published as Red Woman. The author used a sign language interpreter in his interviews, crafting the first authentic portrait of life as a Crow woman.
Pretty Shield’s tales span the time period when buffalo were plentiful, interactions with whites were infrequent through the times of moving from a mobile society to a reservation. Her recollections of daily life illustrate the customs and traditions of the Crow and their relationship to nature and healing.
As Pretty-shield reminds us, “Listen to the old ones. . . keep their wisdom within your heart, and understand that wisdom in your mind.”
