The Girl Who Sang to the Buffalo: A Child, an Elder, and the Light from an Ancient Sky

I am not in the habit of writing reviews but this book by Kent Nerburn compelled me to do so. It is a gem. He is a true storyteller, gifted writer and seeker: open, humble and curious towards his subjects - Native Americans of the Ojibwa and Lakota tribes. The writing is brimful of wisdom, irony and also of humour, poking fun at white European ‘seekers’ of all things ‘Native American’. Some parts are so compelling that I had to read them aloud to my wife at bedtime - another habit that has rare usage, reserved only for the most excellent pieces of writing.
