shocking listening
I always knew it was an awful story but I think it was the relentless pursuit and outright lies that the white Americans implemented that wore me down. Unpleasant to hear, made me angry and sad in equal measure, like Schindler's List,you don't wanna hear it but need to, lest we forget.

a stain on American history.
excellent book but very depressing. Nothing to make Americans proud. Good narrator added to it.

The Sad Path to Wounded Knee
A gripping and harrowing telling of man's inhumanity during the theft of tribal lands from native Americans. We must remember this.

Sad, sad story
The litany of Indian names give haunting beauty to this sad and illuminating story of their demise. Something everyone especially the Americans should know about.
Probably best not to read this book at a time when you need cheering up.
The author often quotes what the Indians said in conference with the US officials. But also what they said to one another, when no stenographer would have been present. So as a piece of history it would have been interesting to know more about the sources the author drew upon.
Similarly, more about the politics between the Indians would be interesting to know. They weren't always on good terms with each other, to put it mildly.
But I guess these are subjects for a different book.

A hard but worthwhile read
I could not read the print version, I tried. So the audio book was idea.
It is the appalling true story of how the white settlers (us) destroyed the and stole from the native Americans. Today it would be called genocide.
I recommend this book to everyone.

powerful
Bury my heart at wounded knee tells the powerful story of the deceit and brutality inflicted on the native Americans by a "civilised" nation. not always easy to listen too but thoroughly worthwhile.

It breaks my heart to hear this story…
I’ve come back again and again to this chronology of a unique culture and people destroyed over such a relatively short period in recent history. I first read this book 25 years ago and it has stayed with me since. To read the of the treatment of the Indians in such an evil way, the cheating and dishonesty of an entire country and its deliberate policies. The repeated slaughter of Indian men, women and children is appalling. A book everyone should read at least once, I can’t recommend this highly enough.
