A few biographies of Native women have been released recently, but this is the only one that allows the speaker’s words to resonate so that the reader may ‘hear’ them. . . . It is an ideal entry into understanding ApsÁalooke reservation life. The sensitive presentation of Hogan’s words and memories, coupled with the authors’ introductory statements, provide insights into the development of the Crow reservation through descriptions of changing lifestyles, struggles of family relations, religious and political commitments, and the resilience of Native beliefs and practices. The Woman Who Loved Mankind is a must-read for anyone interested in Native, feminist, or humanistic studies.”-Timothy P.

This choice elevates the book. The stories themselves are interesting, but the preservation of oral performance lends an intimate and important cultural feel to the work.\"—J. B.

In \u003ci\u003eThe Woman Who Loved Mankind\u003c\/i\u003e she enthralls readers with stories from her long and remarkable life and the stories of her parents, part of the last generation of Crow born to nomadic ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As a child Hogan had a miniature tepee, a fast horse, and a medicine necklace of green beads; she learned traditional arts and food gathering from her mother and experienced the bitterness of Indian boarding school. As an adult she drove a car, maintained a bank account, and read the local English paper, but she spoke Crow as her first language, practiced beadwork, tanned hides, and often visited the last of the old chiefs and berdaches with her family. Though she married in the traditional Crow way and was a proud member of the Tobacco and Sacred Pipe societies, she also helped establish a Christian church on her reservation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hogan’s stories are warm, funny, heartbreaking, and brimming with information about Crow life. Hogan told her stories to her daughter, Mardell Hogan Plainfeather, and to Barbara Loeb, a scholar and longtime friend of the family whose record of her words stays true to Hogan’s expressive speaking rhythms with its echoes of traditional Crow storytelling.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e List of Illustrations \u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e Introduction by Barbara Loeb \u003cbr\u003e Thoughts about My Mother by Mardell Hogan Plainfeather \u003cbr\u003e Genealogies \u003cbr\u003e Chapter One: My Birth and Infancy \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Two: My Mother \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three: My Father \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four: My Parents Meet and Marry \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five: My First Memories \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Six: Boarding School \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Seven: Memories of Youth \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Eight: My Mother Teaches Me to Be a Good Woman \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Nine: Tobacco Iipche (Sacred Pipe Society) and the Medicine Dance (Tobacco Society) \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Ten: We Were Always Hard Up \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Eleven: The Last Years in School \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Twelve: My First Marriage Was to Alex \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Thirteen: We're Adopted into the Tobacco Society \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Fourteen: I Married Robbie Yellowtail \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Fifteen: Paul \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Sixteen: George \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Seventeen: The Kids Are Growing Up \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Eighteen: Sacred Experiences \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Nineteen: Traditional Healing \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Twenty: I Gave Indian Names \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Twenty-One: I'm an Old-Timer \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Twenty-Two: Education \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Twenty-Three: Life as an Elder \u003cbr\u003e Bibliography \u003cbr\u003e Index  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52600322195736,"sku":"9781496243379","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-woman-who-loved-mankind-the-life-of-a-twentieth-century-crow-elder-paperback-softback-9781496243379","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
