Synopsis:

In A Little Bit of Wisdom, Horace Axtell, a contemporary Nez Perce elder and spiritual leader, recounts to Margo Aragon his family's history and his own personal journey. It is a book about growing up Christian while maintaining a strong tribal identity, about going first to war and then to prison, and then coming home to rediscover the Long House and the sacred practice of the Seven Drum Religion and the Sweat House.

Horace is a Wonderful person and an excellent historian. He knows the family histories of many different families on the Nez Perce Reservation.
Margo is a gem of a person as well. She did a great job of helping Horace put these idea's, thoughts, and bits of wisdom into an easy to understand yet fun to read book. I have recomended it to people for many years. It is great for people who love history.
