When Blue Bird and her grandmother leave their family's camp to gather beans for the long, threatening winter, they inadvertently avoid the horrible fate that befalls the rest of the family. Luckily, the two women are adopted by a nearby Dakota community and are eventually integrated into their kinship circles. Ella Cara Deloria's tale follows Blue Bird and her daughter, Waterlily, through the intricate kinship practices that created unity among her people.
Waterlily, published after Deloria's death and generally viewed as the masterpiece of her career, offers a captivating glimpse into the daily life of the 19th-century Sioux. This new Bison Books edition features an introduction by Susan Gardner.
The book is published by University of Nebraska Press.

Would’ve loved a Lakota Narrator

The only drawback to the Audible version is that the narrator is not a Dakota/Lakota/Nakota person or, at least, a Native person. The authenticity of the story is lost with the butchering of the Dakota language throughout. Although not unpleasant in tone, the narrator's southern(?) accent can be distracting. It would be a tremendous benefit to this story if Audible were able to acquire a Native narrator.
