{"product_id":"stories-of-the-sioux-9780803293359","title":"Stories of the Sioux","description":"Luther Standing Bear, a Lakota Sioux born in the 1860s, heard these legends in his youth, when his people were being moved to reservations. In haunting mood and imagery, they celebrate the old nomadic life of the Sioux, when buffalo were plentiful and all nature fed the spirit. The twenty stories honor not only the buffalo but also the dog, the horse, the eagle, and the wolf as workaday helpers and agents of divine intervention; the wisdom of the medicine man; and the heroism and resourcefulness of individual men and women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLuther Standing Bear is the author of \u003ci\u003eLand of the Spotted Eagle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMy People the Sioux\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMy Indian Boyhood\u003c\/i\u003e (all available in Bison Books editions).
