Mary Brave Bird grew up fatherless in a one-room cabin, without
running water or electricity, on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in
South Dakota. Rebelling against the aimless drinking, punishing
missionary school, narrow strictures for women, and violence and
hopeless of reservation life, she joined the new movement of tribal
pride sweeping Native American communities in the sixties and
seventies. Mary eventually married Leonard Crow Dog, the American
Indian Movement's chief medicine man, who revived the sacred but
outlawed Ghost Dance. Originally published in 1990, Lakota Woman
was a national best seller and winner of the American Book Award.
It is a unique document, unparalleled in American Indian
literature, a story of death, of determination against all odds, of
the cruelties perpetuated against American Indians, and of the
Native American struggle for rights. Working with Richard Erdoes,
one of the twentieth century's leading writers on Native American
affairs, Brave Bird recounts her difficult upbringing and the path
of her fascinating life.
