About this book

Charles A. Eastman, who also wrote as Ohiyesa, gathered fifteen stories of Sioux life into two parts, The Warrior and The Woman. He dedicates them to his five daughters and singles out the courage of Indian women. The first tale begins with a young Sioux named Antelope, fasting alone on a high butte in search of a sign, before the council sends him scouting toward the sunset in the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains. A glossary is listed at the end.
