Annotation

Davidson, Gerald. "Women and Warriors of the Plains." The Magazine of Western
History 1999. 29 Apr. 2008 mi_qa3951/is_199904/ai_n8847809>. The authors of this article based it
on a women named Tuell, who was the wife of a schoolteacher and lived amont
the Cheyennes on their reservation in Montana. She later lived among the
Sioux. This article is based off pictures and descriptions of life mostly
in the 1940's when the Indian tribes were around. The pictures reveal
poverty and stress. The Sioux women were left with leisure time after being
confined to their reservations. Later on the women would take their time to
create clothing and deal with other personal issues, for they had their own
"leisure" time. The author gave me enough information to get a
understand of the Sioux Women; however, the author strongly disagrees. He
argues that the author does not give more insight and explanation of the
Indian women.
