What reading level is My Friend the Indian book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Sioux, pursued by the Chippewa or Winnebago, who could reach the pipe- stone quarry was safe, — his life was inviolate so long as he remained under the protection of the spirits who guarded the pipestone. It was a place of sanctuary, as safe as was the church of the Middle Ages.
From all parts of the country Indians came to cut out the red pipestone, mining for it in the dry bed of the creek and distributing the material for pipes over a vast area of country in which the white man had not y...et set foot. The clay was easily cut out, being of the consistency of hard cheese. On exposure to the air it hardened, and was carved into the various forms affected by the Indian artisan in pipe-making. The land upon which the quarry is located was held by the Sioux for many years. In their wars with the Chippe- was and Winnebagoes they eventually asserted their [ 300 ] MODERN TREATY-MAKING right to the territory in the midst of which the quarry lies. But the place they had so jealously guarded for generations was entirely overlooked by the bands of the Sioux who were parties to the various treaties, with the exception of the Yanktons.
