註釋Filled with true stories, legends, and descriptions of traditional Dakota Sioux life, this book is a record of a people whose existence was engulfed and forever changed by the westward expansion of the United States. It is also the story of the author's family.; The introductory chapters revisit ancestral territory, telling the life stories of the author's grandfather and great grandfather, a medicine man whose vision experience would have profound effects on his descendants. Both men played prominent roles in the religious life of the Yankton and Standing Rock Sioux. The Deloria family history helps us understand the revolutionary changes the Sioux were experiencing during this period, and it offers a wrenching and poignant contrast to Tipi Sapa's descriptions of a distinctive way of life that was already lost to the onrush of history.
