"Bdote is a powerful piece of literature written by Angela Ellen Grey, comprising a collection of narrative poems and prose that revolve around the stories of two young Sioux girls from different eras. The book is set at the point where the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers meet, a place of convergence and spiritual significance for the Sioux people, known as Bdote.
The first protagonist, Evangeline, also known as Evie, is a modern Sioux girl who is not fond of fishing with her father and prefers to spend her time chatting online with strangers. The second protagonist, Lily, is a Sioux girl from 1862 who has time-traveled to modern-day America and has met Evie. Lily shares stories with Evie about the oppression, diseases, and death that white men have brought to their once peaceful and flourishing land, as well as tales about nature, her family, and friends.
Evie empathizes with Lily's stories and shares her own experiences about the internet, school, her family, and her own sadness and sorrow. The book effectively addresses various social issues affecting the two girls from different eras, highlighting how the pain and traditions of the Sioux people have transcended time and still have an impact on the Sioux in Evie's era.
The author, Angela Ellen Grey, skillfully uses the concept of Bdote to narrate the stories of Evie and Lily, capturing the struggles and helplessness of both girls as they try to comprehend why their people have had to go through so much pain and distress. The book is well-written, beautifully organized, and the narration is captivating, making it a must-read for anyone who loves historical fiction and poetry.
Overall, Bdote is an excellent work that addresses important social issues, showcases the resilience of the Sioux people, and provides a unique perspective on the experiences of two young girls from different eras. The book has been praised by Luwi Nyakansaila of Readers' Favorite, who described it as a powerful piece of literature that is well-written and beautifully organized, with a captivating narration."
