Medicine man Archie Fire Lame Deer's inspiring memoir charts his journey from Catholic school runaway to U.S army misfit, from barman to boozer, Hollywood stuntman to rattlesnake catcher - and the long journey which began on his grandfather's South Dakota farm ends in the world of the spirit to which he was born. A book-of-th-month-club selection in America, and praised by Publishers Weekly as "stirring and...instructive reading for those wishing to understand what it is to be Native American today, GIFT OF POWER evokes the magic and power of the Lakota Indian pantheon of spirits with remarkable candour.

Description
With surprising candor, Archie Fire Lame Deer describes the magic and power of the Native American spirit life. Archie's compelling narrative recaptures his boyhood years under the tutelage of his medicine-man grandfather on a South Dakota farm. We follow him from Catholic school runaway to Army misfit, from bartender to boozer, from Hollywood stuntman to chief rattlesnake catcher of the state of South Dakota. And we exult with him when he comes home to the world of spirit.
