What was it like to grow up in the world of the pre-reservation Plains
Indians before the coming of the white settlers? Prior to our modern era
of television, video games, and computers how did American Indian
children live, learn, and play? In this beautifully illustrated book,
award-winning author, Michael Oren Fitzgerald, combines stunning
photographs and simple quotations by Indian chiefs and elders to explain
to today's youth what life would have been like growing up on the
American plains. Children of the Tipi includes sections on boys and
girls at play, camp life, and the important role of parents and
grandparents. It features historical sepia photographs of children at
work and play, as well as detailed color photographs of their toys,
tools, and everyday objects.
