Synopsis

This book, a historical pageant, dramatizes pivotal moments from the arrival of Yankton Native Americans to the settlement of Yankton, South Dakota. The story begins with the Native American people's encounter with the Lewis and Clark expedition and continues through the arrival of white settlers. The author uses dance, dialogue, and colorful narration to bring these historical events vividly to life, exploring themes of cultural displacement and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of change. Through the experiences of the Yankton people, this book provides a unique and insightful perspective on this period of American history, capturing the complexity and challenges of westward expansion and the indomitable spirit of those who shaped it.
