Description: “Hanta Yo: An American Saga” by Ruth Beebe Hill is about the story of an original people, a multigenerational saga which reveals for the first time an American Indian culture from the inside.  Based on a document recorded on tanned hide by a member of the Mahto band of the Teton Sioux.  “Hanta Yo” takes us into the lives of two families of this band and describes their world as it was from the late 1700’s  to the 1830’s, before the white man came onto the red man’s territory, before any influencing contact with traders and missionaries.
