First published in 1907, My Life as an Indian is the memoir of James Willard Schultz and tells the story of his first year living with the Pikuni tribe in Montana. It includes accounts of religious customs and ceremonies, hunting, raids, food preparation, child-rearing and more, and is thus of great interest to anthropologists and students of Native American history.

Wrong reader

I had a hard time getting through this one. Ebonics did not work for me with this book. Every time the reader said the word ask, he pronounced it axs.

Pretty good

I wanted to get through this as fast as possible. The man reading had excellent diction so I could understand what he was saying and read along even after putting it at such a fast speed. I thought the book was interesting, so I’m happy.

Beautiful story, horrendous narration

There’s got to be a better performance of this book out there. Find it and enjoy.

Narrator was poor

Narrator had no clue how to pronounce words and used slang not appropriate for the context of this story

Robot Voice

Loving the book but its sad that such a descriptive beautiful book is read by someone that seems bored and robotic.
