Synopsis
In My People theSioux, Luther Standing Bear (ÓtaKté), son of an Oglala Lakota chief, delivers a vivid and vital insider’s portrait of Sioux life in a time of dramatic change. From the sweeping freedom of the buffalo hunt to the coffin‑like confinement of the boarding school, Standing Bear weaves personal memoir and ethnographic chronicle into a singular narrative. He recounts his boyhood on the prairie, his experience among the first students of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, his touring with Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West show, and his later advocacy for Indigenous rights during the early 20thcentury. At once a celebration of Lakota culture — its games, rituals, values — and a sober critique of assimilationist policies, the book stands as one of the first published accounts of Native American life written from a Native American perspective.
Readers will be drawn to its powerful blend of firsthand experience and cultural testimony: this is not simply history told, it is life lived—and through it, a culture striving to endure.
