“Ohitika Woman might be the nonfiction find of the year.ā€¯
—Houston Chronicle The beloved sequel to the now-classic Lakota
Woman, Ohitika Woman follows Mary Brave Bird as she continues her
powerful, dramatic tale of ancient glory and present anguish, of
courage and despair, of magic and mystery, and, above all, of the
survival of both body and mind. Coming home from Wounded Knee in
1973, married to American Indian movement leader Leonard Crow Dog,
Mary was a mother with the hope of a better life. But, as she says,
“Trouble always finds me.ā€¯ With brutal frankness she bares her
innermost thoughts, recounting the dark as well as the bright
moments in her always eventful life. She not only talks about the
stark truths of being a Native American living in a white-dominated
society but also addresses the experience of being a mother, a
woman, and, rarest of all, a Sioux feminist. Filled with contrasts,
courage, and endurance, Ohitika Woman is a powerful testament to
Maryā€™s will and spirit.
