Stories of the Sioux

Luther Standing Bear is the author of Land of the Spotted Eagle, My People the Sioux, and My Indian Boyhood (all available in Bison Books editions). Frances Washburn is an assistant professor of American Indian studies and English at the University of Arizona and the author of Elsie's Business (Nebraska 2006).

"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."
