Children of the Tipi Life in the Buffalo Days

"Michael [Fitzgerald] has helped to preserve the spiritual traditions of the Crow Sun Dance and he has helped to show us the wisdom of the old-timers." -- Thomas Yellowtail, Crow medicine man and Sun Dance chief "Michael Fitzgerald has heard the poignant narratives of the American Indian people, and has lived among the Crow people for extended periods of time since 1970. He has studied American Indian religious traditions on the earth, among the people, in ceremonies and family gatherings. We thank Fitzgerald for his deep-seated appreciation, honor, and respect for American Indian culture, its religion, language, and lifeways." -- Janine Pease, founding president of the Little Big Horn College, and National Indian Educator of the Year "I greatly appreciate the recovery work that Fitzgerald is doing, work that makes available for the classroom and popular use texts that have been all but buried in libraries." -- Stephen Brandon, University of New Mexico
