Although the traditional Sioux nation was in its last days when
Luther Standing Bear was born in the 1860s, he was raised in the
ancestral manner to be a successful hunter and warrior and a
respectful and productive member of Sioux society. Known as Plenty
Kill, young Standing Bear belonged to the Western Sioux tribe that
inhabited present-day North and South Dakota. In "My Indian
Boyhood" he describes the home life and education of Indian
children. Like other boys, he played with toy bows and arrows in
the tipi before learning to make and use them and became schooled
in the ways of animals and in the properties of plants and herbs.
His life would be very different from that of his ancestors, but he
was not denied the excitement of killing his first buffalo before
leaving to attend the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania.
