RED CLOUD INDIAN SCHOOL

PINE RIDGE, SD

BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE I've plagiarized the title from the book by Dee Brown. It's a book I read many years ago, but it left a lot of unpleasantness seared into my memory. I suspect it is a relevant today as it was when it came out in 1970. When you're feeling proud about your country, pick up this book and read it.
