    Summary:

    Eastman, a Sioux educated in white society, kept his sense of the wholeness and beauty of the Indian's relation to the natural world. These six essays, told in very personal terms and coupled with seven folk tales, illuminate the high ethics and morality of a culture that few people know about.
