A Lakota Voice Speaks: One Man's Story of Culture, Loss, and Survival

My People the Sioux is a profound first-person account of Lakota life before and after the arrival of white settlers. Written by Luther Standing Bear-a Sioux chief, writer, and educator-this memoir details his upbringing in the Dakota plains, his forced assimilation through boarding schools, and his enduring efforts to preserve his people's dignity and traditions.

This powerful work is both a historical document and a personal plea for understanding, bridging the gap between Indigenous heritage and a changing America.

This edition includes:

Clean, modern formatting for students and educators

A vital firsthand perspective on boarding schools and cultural erasure

Insight into Sioux values, education, and resistance

Essential reading for Native American history, social justice, and memoir studies

"True education teaches how to live rightly in the world, not how to escape it." - Luther Standing Bear

Whether for personal growth or academic study, My People the Sioux is a vital voice that speaks across generations.
