Description
A young Lakota boy named Jimmy McClean sets out on a journey with his grandfather, Nyles High Eagle, and discovers that identity is more than what’s written on a name—it’s carried in stories, memory, and belonging. As Jimmy listens to the oral traditions of his people, he is drawn into the life and legacy of Tasunke Witko, Crazy Horse, whose resistance to encroachment and fierce commitment to Lakota sovereignty shaped a pivotal era in American history. Joseph Marshall III weaves Jimmy’s contemporary coming-of-age with an insider’s portrait of Crazy Horse, illuminating themes of heritage, resilience, and the power of intergenerational storytelling. Blending historical depth with lyrical, youth-accessible narrative, this award-winning work invites readers to understand the past not as distant legend, but as a living force that helps define who we become.
