Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:

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 subsequent purchase would be "The Soul Of The Indian".

There are certainly not enough autobiographies of Native Americans, and few that can compare with Eastman's story and journey to find civilization. As Eastman follows Christianity and the White Man's Civilization, he finds himself realizing the paradox of the two worlds. Upon returning to a more civilized world, he gives a captivating look at how Jesus was an Indian and how different the White world and Native American world was during his life. A perfect self-enlightenment book.
