The Turtle Who Went to War and Other Sioux Stories

by Eunice Alfrey, Ann Lambert, Lavina Perry, and George Whitebird

The Turtle Who Went to War includes five stories from the Indian Reading Series, a collection of authentic material cooperatively developed by Indigenous people. These traditional Sioux tales, originally designed to help educate young tribal members about their history and culture, include elements of friendship, bravery, loyalty and revenge. Recorded by Indigenous storytellers and illustrated by Indigenous artists, these entertaining stories are perfect for reluctant readers and offer a fascinating way for readers of all ages to learn about the Sioux.
