This "nostalgic and noble book" is the memoir of his life by Carl Sweezy, who was one of the last of the thousand full-blooded Arapaho Indians living on a reservation in Oklahoma. Carl Sweezy was born in 1881 as a Blue Cloud Arapaho and grew up in the old ways. He learned to paint, and the charming and colorful illustrations in the book are his recapturing of the dances, hunts, games, dress, and ceremony he knew.
