Publisher's Summary
From the pen of Santee Sioux, Charles Eastman, come these biographical portraits of Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and Chief Joseph. Eastman's writings are truly invaluable and unique, as he is known to have been acquainted with the American Indian leaders about whom he wrote. A Santee Sioux, born in Red Falls, Minnesota, he was raised by his grandmother and uncle in Manitoba, Canada, where he learned Native American traditions and lore. As a teenager he returned to his father's family and attended mission schools and Beloit College. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1887 and from Boston University School of Medicine in 1890. Although his background made him unwelcome in some parts of white society and his education made him uneasy in Native American cultures, he worked for his people throughout his life as a doctor, as a representative in Washington, DC, and as a founder of the Society of American Indians.
Performed with musical accompaniment by Lorenzo Baca, a Native American artist of Mescalero Apache and Isleta Pueblo descent.
