The book
It was imensely superior to the movie, and was probably the greatest, or atleast the most emotional book ever written. If you haven't read it, read it, you won't regret it.

I wish they had put in the movie the trouble Old Lodge Skins had with rabbits. It was in the book and was funny.
For people who don'y have the book the paragraph
.... but so ran his luck that he never saw any of the animal brothers that assisted his magic - such as Rattlesnake or Prairie Dog - but rather only Jackrabbit, who had a grudge against him of long standing because he once had kept a prairie fire off his camp by exhorting it to burn the hares' homes instead. Which it did, running away from his lodges after coming so close that the tepee-skins were scorched. Ever since the incident the rabbits all knew him, and when encountering him alone would stand up on them enormous legs and say: "We think bad thoughts for you." They would also call him by his real name, which is as malicious as you can get, and go bounding off, showing white or black tail as the case may be, for both families had it in for that particular Indian.share
And I say this: I never in my life saw more examples of that animal than when in the company of Old Lodge Skins. Let the toe of his moccasin protrude from the tepee, and up they'll leap for miles about, numerous as sparks when you throw a houseshoe in a forge.
