My Life as an Indian is James Willard Schultz's firsthand account of living among the Blackfeet in the northern plains during the last years of the free buffalo-hunting era. Written by a white man who married a Blackfoot woman and chose to share the daily life of her people, this memoir offers an intimate, ground-level view of Native American culture, frontier life, and the closing of the Old West.

From 1880 to 1903, Schultz hunted, traded, guided, and celebrated alongside the Blackfeet, not as a distant observer but as family. He records winter camps and summer hunts, storytelling by firelight, courtship and marriage, warfare and diplomacy, and the quiet routines that rarely appear in official histories. His deep love for his wife Nat-ah-ki and respect for her people run through every chapter, giving the narrative emotional weight as well as historical value.

Readers who enjoy frontier history, Native American culture, western expansion, and true-life adventure will find:

  • Vivid eyewitness scenes of buffalo country, northern plains weather, and camp life.

  • Detailed descriptions of Blackfoot traditions, ceremonies, and everyday customs.

  • A powerful cross-cultural love story that humanizes a history too often told only in dates and battles.

Ideal for fans of classic western memoirs, indigenous studies, and anyone searching for authentic accounts of Native life in the late nineteenth century, My Life as an Indian stands as both an adventure story and an important historical document. This edition brings Schultz's unforgettable narrative to modern readers who want more than stereotypes-readers who want to feel the campfire smoke, hear the old-time songs, and ride the great grass sea of the plains alongside the people who called it home.
