MY PEOPLE THE SIOUX

Shaun Taylor-Corbett's narration is calm and friendly, and he handles this 1928 classic's occasional humor in a charming understated manner. This is a strength, given the book's didactic intent. However, at times this even-toned approach may become dull for some listeners. Despite this drawback, Taylor-Corbett brings the story to life, and his narration embodies its theme that the Lakota way of life is humane, well ordered, and worth preserving, despite some racist claims. Students encountering this work through a course will find this audiobook useful as a supplemental text, as it could brighten a potentially dry experience in print. This audiobook is not likely to win awards, but it is well worth giving a chance. N.P.D. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2022]
