- Title
Life of Mà-ka-tai-me-she-kià-kiàk, or Black Hawk, An Autobiography.
- Authors
Whaley, Gray H.
- Abstract
Loraro's new engagement with Black Hawk's autobiography is a welcome update to Donald Jackson's 1955 edition from the University of Illinois Press. Finally, Loraro adds to the Native voice element of Black Hawk's I Life i with inclusion of lines from Meskwaki (Sac and Fox) poet Ray A. Young Bear, "For You, a Handful of the Greatest Gift." Black Hawk credits the British with being more honest and trustworthy, particularly as the US perpetrated a fraudulent treaty in 1804 in which the Sauks and Foxes were supposed to have ceded much of their lands.
