James R. Walker was a physician to the Pine Ridge Sioux from 1896
to 1914. His accounts of this time, taken from his personal papers,
reveal much about Lakota life and culture. This third volume of
previously unpublished material from the Walker collection presents
his work on Lakota myth and legend. This edition includes classic
examples of Lakota oral literature, narratives that were known only
to a few Oglala holy men, and Walker's own literary cycle based on
all he had learned about Lakota myth. "Lakota Myth" is an
indispensable source for students of comparative literature,
religion, and mythology, as well as those interested in Lakota
culture.
