| Summary | "Indian Child Life" by Charles A. Eastman is a collection of autobiographical stories written in the early 20th century. The book offers insights into the life and culture of Native American children, particularly from the perspective of Eastman, who is a member of the Sioux tribe. By sharing his experiences growing up, he aims to illustrate the simplicity and beauty of Indian childhood, juxtaposed against the harsh realities experienced by his people. The opening of the book introduces readers to Eastman's own early experiences as a member of the Sioux tribe, focusing on his time spent under the care of his grandmother. He recounts vivid memories of his infancy, highlighting cultural practices such as naming ceremonies and childhood games while also referencing the struggles his people faced during the tumultuous periods of American expansion. We learn about his affectionate relationship with his grandmother and the life lessons instilled in him, emphasizing the significance of nature and respect for the environment in the training of Indian children. This nostalgic portrayal sets the foundation for the rich tapestry of stories that follow, inviting readers to understand and appreciate the heart of Indian childhood.
