Mary Brave Bird grew up fatherless in a one-room cabin, without running drinking water or electricity, on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Rebelling contrary to the aimless drinking, punishing missionary school, narrow strictures for ladies, and violence and hopeless of reservation life, she joined the new activity of tribal pride sweeping Local American areas in the '60s and '70s. Mary eventually committed Leonard Crow Dog, the North american Indian Movement's chief medicine man, who revived the sacred but outlawed Ghost Party. Originally published in 1990, Lakota Woman was a national best seller and victor of the North american Book Award. It really is a unique doc, unparalleled in North american Indian literature, a story of fatality, of perseverance against all odds, of the cruelties perpetuated against North american Indians, and of the Local American struggle for rights. Dealing with Richard Erdoes, one of the 20th century's leading authors on Local American affairs, Daring Bird recounts her difficult upbringing and the road of her fascinating life.
