- Synopsis
- (abbreviated from back of book)As a leader and spokesman for his people Little Crow was forced into a policy of accommodation, of accepting some aspects of the white man's life style while struggling to retain essential parts of the Dakota culture. ... By 1862 the Sioux realized that their (way of life was)in jeopardy and that the government would not fulfill its promises. With their way of life endangered, the Sioux turned to Little Crow to lead them in a war for self-preservation, ... Within a year, the Sioux had been evicted from Minnesota, Little Crow was dead, and a way of life had vanished. Through his life-his biography-the complex interrelationship of Indian and white can be studied and, in some measure, understood.
