Man's inhumanity to his fellow man
Listening to this book made me feel ashamed of the fact I am white. However, I excuse myself, as I spent 3 years in the north of Australia and virtually ally my friends were non-white. I do not hold any prejudices and I wish with all my heart that all human kind would feel the same.

What an important book.
This was a fascinating book and I had to binge it as I just couldn't stop listening.
This was a harrowing story of heroism and heartache.

A must for your library
Brings a deeper and thorough understanding of what transpired not that long ago. A common theme, through our eyes now, of how terribly Indians were treated, in their then, of what was perfectly acceptable.
Marvellously narrated and expertly written.

A Must Listen!
A true, terrible, shameful, sad insight into the tearing down of a peaceful proud culture. This account is also indicative of the treatment of all peaceful indigenous peoples exposed to 'civilized' western white people, and the destruction of cultures and ways of life globally.

a very important book, should be studied by all
Absolutely heartbreaking book and should be studied by everyone. incredibly well written and a very powerful story. it's a great account of history and I think it's as important then the great books like The Rape of Nanking & Gulag Archipelago. These stories and it's people should never be forgotten.

Well written book
For the person interested in history for its own sake, Bury my heart at wounded knee is book that is well-written and researched. It is a sobering and humbling record that uses informative accounts; reveals how often greed, apathy and cruelty of humanity against itself impacted the U.S expansion West.

A real view of history.
This has changed my whole perception of the stories we were always told about cowboys and Indians. What an intelligent, brave, honourable, spiritual race that was decimated by the white man. It has allowed me to understand why white privilege is so strong in America.

A Must Read
Simply a Must-Read.Take time to understand the documented mis-treatment of the Indigenous People of the Americas, a race whose contribution to our modern world is grossly misunderstood. What a profound almost tragic pleasure to listen to the accounts of American Indians attempting to negotiate with profoundly manipulative and self-interested colonial war-mongers and their ultimate reduction to prisoners in their own land ... A timely warning in these pandemic times - where the tipping point between mandated safety and innate freedom is constantly blurred. Listen to the words from an ancient race who valued the human spirit and its essential Freedom.

With great sadness.
Another auricle of how America decimated a race of people in a completely genocidal manner. Many more genecides were to follow,.
