Book Synopsis
A series of short stories, related by the author, handed down from generation to generation of the Lakota tribe. This work honours the buffalo, the dog, the horse, the eagle, and the wolf as workaday helpers and agents of divine intervention; the wisdom of the medicine man; and the heroism and resourcefulness of individual men and women.

Trade Review
"All of the stories are filled with the Indian's mysticism, with his magic lore and his sense of friendly alliance with the kindred animal spirits and of his ultimate faith in the 'Great Mystery.' They are retold ... in a forthright graphic style well adapted to their vigorous material and tradition." New York Times "These short pieces will serve to ... acquaint [readers] with the distinct charm and the almost classical simplicity with which the Indian story-tellers expressed themselves."
