"A Legend from Crazy Horse Clan" is a story for children of all ages. Beautiful illustrations by Daniel Long Soldier keep the legend alive in the reader's eye. The historian or student of Indian ways will enjoy the book as much as the child of seven, in whose imagination the baby raccoon Mesu embodies all that is faithful & loving in a small furry pet. Listen carefully to the words of Tashia. The symbolic role of man & woman is evident throughout the legend. Although the story essentially describes the life of a girl, the narrator is male. Clearly, the legend describes the male viewpoint of manhood, religion, courtship, aging & death. The characters are gentle, yet there is a strong underlying theme of tribal identity. Without a doubt, we are looking at life through the eyes of a warrior. Indian oral narration is spoken American literature in its finest form. When Lakota children of the 1990s become grandparents themselves, they will tell the legends again. Thanks to Moses Big Crow, one of those legends may well be "A legend from Horse Clan".
