About the book: Lame Deer

Storyteller, rebel, medicine man, Lame Deer was born almost a  century ago on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. A full-blooded  Sioux, he was many things in the white man's world -- rodeo clown,  painter, prisioner. But, above all, he was a holy man of the Lakota  tribe.

Seeker of Vision

The story he tells  is one of harsh youth and reckless manhood, shotgun marriage and  divorce, history and folklore as rich today as ever -- and of his fierce  struggle to keep pride alive, though living as a stranger in his own  ancestral land.
