A fascinating memoir of a white man who gained access to the private lives of the Blackfeet Indians.First published in 1907, My Life as an Indian is the memoir of J. W. Schultz’s life as a young white man among the Piegan Blackfeet in the Montana Territory. Inspired by the journals of Lewis and Clark and George Catlin’s depictions of Indian life in his paintings, Schultz journeyed to the American West in search of adventure and became a trapper and trader. However he stumbled into a completely new and inspiring world when he met the Blackfoot tribe, and he soon settled into their lifestyle. During his time with the Blackfeet, Schultz married a Blackfoot woman named Natahki.In this firsthand account of a life and culture that many were not privy to at the time, Schultz paints a stunning portrait of a people he admired, revered, and came to live among. He exposes elements of everyday life in the tribe’s encampments such as child rearing, food preparation, war parties, and the tanning of buffalo hides. He illuminates religious and burial ceremonies, and takes readers on the thrill of buffalo hunts and into the heart of battle against neighboring tribes.Now prefaced with a new introduction, My Life as an Indian continues to hold unsurpassable insight that makes it still relevant today. It is a memorably honest and readable portrayal of one outsider’s view of Native Americans from a time when most still regarded these remarkable people as simple savages.Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs.

First hand account of Blackfeet Indians in their prime and the end By ERNEST MILLER The author writes authoritatively and convincingly about life on the high plains of Montana with the Blackfeet Indians. Very insightful about Indian ways at their peak when the plains were full of buffalo and other game. He also gives an unvarnished account of the end,when the buffalo herds disappeared in the space of just a few years and the proud and self reliant Blackfeet Indians were reduced to helpless starving victims of corrupt Indian Agents and the big cattle barons. Well worth reading for those interested in learning about the old west especially the latter years and the end times at the end of the 19th century.

By D & J Nuss A remarkable book regarding the life of an unremarkable white man who married into the Blackfeet nation. An account of the joys and sorrows of the simple uncomplicated life, living, learning, maturing as a man, as he grows wise enough to know that he could never abandon the exhilarating freedom he has experienced with the Blackfeet and his wife and return to to the structured, pretentious, judgmental society that the white civilization offered. A very good read.

By LovetoRead I'm enjoying this book, (I'm 3/4 of the way finished), but the Kindle edition isn't perfect. I don't know if it is a problem only with the digital edition that I bought, or with all of the editions, but on some parts of the book the text jumps abruptly from one story to another, almost as if there was quite a lot of text left out. I'm finding it frustrating as I would like to know how some of the stories turned out but can't. For example, the author tells a story about shooting a grizzly bear and his Indian wife refusing to help take care of the hide because...well I will never know why because the sentence isn't completed and suddenly the book is on another subject all together with other people talking. I have bought many, many, many Kindle books and this is the first time I have ever run across this issue. I would be interested to know if other readers of the Kindle edition of this book have experienced this?
