Here is the cover of a book that I found in a used bookstore in Rapid City, South Dakota in the Oceti Sakowin Territory.
This book was published in 1954, the year my wife Paige was born and the year before I was born.
The format of the book seems designed to teach children the attitudes that, more than sixty years later now, we regard as stereotypical about “discovery” and the desire of Christian preachers to “convert” the “heathen savage” dwellers of the forests while colonizing the continent.
