I wasn't particularly fascinated by the depiction of life on the reservation because of an interest in American Indians or anything, but rather because I enjoyed learning about traditions and ways of living that were different to my own. I mark this book as one that helped develop my interest in cultural anthropology (especially folklore).
I misplaced the book at some point years ago and haven't even thought of it until recently, but I wonder what I would think of it now that I'm more aware of racism and the way even well-meaning people can present completely prejudiced or condescending or downright mistaken things about other cultures. I'm almost afraid to dig the book up again to read it and have my nostalgic memories shattered. ( )
