Description
When it was first published in 1928, Luther Standing Bear s autobiographical account of his tribe and tribesmen was hailed by Van Wyck Brooks as "one of the most engaging and veracious we have ever had." It remains a landmark in Indian literature, among the first books about Indians written from the Indian point of view by an Indian.Born in the 1860s the son of a Lakota chief, Standing Bear was in the first class at Carlisle, witnessed the Ghost Dance uprising from the Pine Ridge Reservation, toured Europe with Buffalo Bill s Wild West show, and devoted his later years to the Indian rights movement of the 1920s and 30s. His story offers a rare inside view by an Indian who successfully made the transition from traditional tribal life to the white man s world but never lost his pride in and identification with his Indian heritage."
