Lakota Woman

Mary Brave Bird, a fatherless woman from South Dakota, grew up in a one-room cabin without running water or electricity. She rebelled against the harsh conditions of the reservation life and joined the tribal pride movement in the sixties and seventies. She married Leonard Crow Dog, the chief medicine man of the American Indian Movement, who revived the sacred Ghost Dance. Lakota Woman, published in 1990, is a unique document in American Indian literature, a story of death, determination, and the Native American struggle for rights. Working with Richard Erdoes, Brave Bird recounts her life and upbringing.
