A Hopi child is torn from his parents and sent off to boarding
school; white settlers encroach on the Cheyenne reservation, and
the Cheyenne vow to fight to the death rather than give up their
land; Howling Wolf witnesses the brutal murder of his brother and,
when he protests, is in turn brutalized; after Sitting Bull's
triumph over Custer's forces, he vows to fight to the death rather
than submit to the white invaders. In these and other stories
written from 1890-1905, Hamlin Garland sought to capture his vision
of the spirit of the Native American Indian in transition. Based on
ten years of visits to reservations in the American West, these
stories are of interest for readers today in part because they
illustrate a sincere and well-intentioned white reformer coming to
understand a culture radically at odds with his own--and
discovering in the process that his own culture is less "advanced"
than he had supposed.
