Description
"The Great Plains of North America was once home to great herds of bison. The Aboriginal peoples who lived there revered them and relied on them for food, clothing, and shelter. Into one of these great herds, Little White Buffalo was born in the 19th century. In this heartfelt story, she retells her life - a life that coincides with the devastation of the bison, destroyed by hunters and the coming of the railway"--back cover.
