Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you have read the writings of Ohiyesa (Charles Alexander Eastman); I HIGHLY recommend this book to you.
It helped me understand the forces that shaped this man.
My favorite areas are
The assorted photos of his father "Many Lightnings", his wife, his son Ohiyesa at the age of 5.
Events that occured while he was attending school in the East, and the bigotry he encountered from "SOME" white people.
Events where he served as a medical doctor on the Pine Ridge reservation, and caring for the survivors of the Wounded Knee masacre in 1890.
Events where he traveled among various indian nations to get items used by indians for museums.
Events where he worked with the Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls.
And much more.
If this book is your introduction to the writings of Ohiyesa; I would recommend that your next purchase would be "The Soul Of The Indian".
Wah doh Ogedoda (We give thanks Great Spirit)
