Book Overview
A haunting dream that will not relent pulls author Kent Nerburn back into the hidden world of Native America, where dreams have meaning, animals are teachers, and the "old ones" still have powers beyond our understanding. In this moving narrative, we travel through the lands of the Lakota and the Ojibwe, where we encounter a strange little girl with an unnerving connection to the past, a forgotten asylum that history has tried to hide, and the complex, unforgettable characters we have come to know from Neither Wolf nor Dog and The Wolf at Twilight . Part history, part mystery, part spiritual journey and teaching story, The Girl Who Sang to the Buffalo is filled with the profound insight into humanity and Native American culture we have come to expect from Nerburn's journeys. As the American Indian College Fund has stated, once you have encountered Nerburn's stirring evocations of America's high plains and incisive insights into the human heart, "you can never look at the world, or at people, the same way again."

The Girl Who Sang to the Buffalo is a book to savor
Published by Barry Blefko , 8 months ago
I am not in the habit of writing reviews but this book by Kent Nerburn compelled me to do so. It is a gem. He is a true storyteller, gifted writer and seeker: open, humble and curious towards his subjects - Native Americans of the Ojibwa and Lakota tribes. The writing is brimful of wisdom, irony and also of humour, poking fun at white European ‘seekers’ of all things ‘Native American’. Some parts are so compelling that I had to read them aloud to my wife at bedtime - another habit that has rare usage, reserved only for the most excellent pieces of writing.
