The Soul of the Indian by Charles Alexander Eastman

The author, who was raised among the Sioux until the age of 15, is a uniquely qualified interpreter of Native American ways. He discusses forms of ceremonial and symbolic worship, the unwritten scriptures, and the spirit world, emphasizing the universal quality and personal appeal of Native American religion.

Charles Alexander Eastman was born on the Santee Reservation in Minnesota in 1858 and died in 1939. After his mother died and his father was kidnapped during the Minnesota Sioux uprising, he was raised by his grandparents. He was reunited with his father at the age of fifteen and began a life in white society. He went on to become a doctor and spent the remainder of his life assisting Indians in coping with changing circumstances and attempting to reconcile the contrasting ideals and beliefs of white society and Sioux culture.
