When Buffalo Ran by George Bird Grinnell ~ Full Audiobook [biography]

When Buffalo Ran by George Bird Grinnell audiobook. Genre: biography Told in the plain, direct voice of its young narrator, When Buffalo Ran follows Wikis, a Plains Indian boy growing up in the mid-1800s, when buffalo still covered the prairie and a small camp of families could live by the seasons, the hunt, and the old teachings. Wikis learns what it means to belong - to listen to elders, to help his mother, to master a bow, to ride, and to measure himself by courage, generosity, and self-control. But the world he is born into is not peaceful. Raids and sudden violence can shatter an ordinary day, and Wikis must carry early memories of fear while he is still learning how to be brave. As he grows, he is drawn deeper into the demanding rhythms of buffalo life: hard travel, close attention to animals and weather, and the discipline of living together when every choice affects the whole camp. Along the way, Grinnell weaves in ceremonies, childhood games that mirror adult responsibilities, and the fierce pride of a people determined to keep their ways alive as everything around them begins to change.
