Review: "Bertha Little Coyote is a pistol." "She is predictably outspoken and courageous, and her opinions are, to many people's chagrin, piercingly correct in most situations. In this memoir (and the accompanying compact disc) she shows herself also as a deeply tender-hearted, expressive musician who is fiercely committed to people - especially Cheyenne people. She has triumphed over eighty-four years of a difficult life, and has full hopes for an exciting spiritual existence after she "leaves everything on earth behind."" "Here are Bertha Little Coyote's songs and memories of government school, old-time Cheyenne life, fighting white boys, singing around the drum, dancing with the war mothers, being baptized in the lake, and dreaming important dreams."--Jacket.
