An excellent historical fiction story, "Waterlily" By Ella Cara Deloria, amazed me at how these people lived in such a harsh environment. The manners they taught their children led to good people who were family oriented and respected both man and their environment. The young males dedicated themselves to their tribe by doing the Sun Dance where they lived through torturous acts. Females dedicated themselves to caring for their family as well as those in the tribe who needed their help also. There were many rituals which included their entire community, making them more dedicated to their society rules.
