Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee:  An Analysis

Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is a fully documented
account of the annihilation of the American Indian in the late
1800s ending at the Battle of Wounded Knee. Brown brings to light
a story of torture and atrocity not well known in American
history. The fashion in which the American Indian was exterminated
is best summed up in the words of Standing Bear of the Poncas,
"When people want to slaughter cattle they drive them along until
they get them to a corral, and then they slaughter them. So it was
with us_. "

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, a work of non-fiction, attempts to
tell the story of the American West from the perspective of the
indigenous population, The American Indian. That in itself makes
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee an important work of literature as
it is one of the few books supporting the Indian cause. This is
done through the use of council records, autobiographies, and
first-hand accounts.

Each of the book's nineteen chapters deals with a certain tribe,
battle, or historical event. Brown goes into deep and explicit
detail throughout, as evidenced by the book's nearly 500 pages.
However, while some may complain Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee is
boring or text-book-like,
