Book Synopsis
In 1885 a genteel New England girl traveled to the western frontier to open a school on the Great Sioux Reservation. This book bears witness to a critical and tragic era in Lakota history and reveals the frequently contradictory attitudes of outsiders drawn to them.

Trade Review
“[Sister to the Sioux] is of value to historians and anthropologists for a wealth of information useful in shading in the era of Lakota reservation life during the 1880s.”—Western Historical Quarterly
“We must be impressed by this talented woman who gave herself so completely to the people she chose to serve. Her story is fascinating, a real contribution to the history of the period.”—American Indian Quarterly
