Lakota Winds narrates the battle of the Little Big Horn as seen
through the eyes of the Sioux. It is a fast-paced story bringing to
life that fateful encounter between Custer's 7th Cavalry and the
Sioux and Cheyenne. Never again would Native Americans assemble in
such numbers as they did on that day in 1876, and never again would
they inflict such a punishing defeat upon the United States
military. Lakota Winds recaptures these precious hours of Sioux
heritage. Matowla, Tankala Pay-ta, Unci, Osota, and Ishna were all
witnesses to this final episode of the era of the Plains Indian.
These characters represent the thousands of Lakota and Cheyenne who
were camped along the Greasy Grass (Little Big Horn River) that
summer morning when Custer's troops attacked. Matowla, Pay-ta,
Unci, and Ishna have been entrusted to act as vocal embassies for
their historical counterparts. It will be their obligation to speak
for a people whose voices have all but been stilled by the passage
of time.
