Publisher's Synopsis
Indian Boyhood is a memoir written by Charles A. Eastman, also known as Ohiyesa, a Native American of the Dakota Sioux tribe. The book details his childhood experiences growing up in the traditional Native American way of life, including hunting and fishing, participating in tribal ceremonies and rituals, and learning from his elders. Eastman also discusses the impact of the arrival of white settlers and the forced assimilation of Native American children into Western culture through boarding schools. Through his personal anecdotes, Eastman provides insight into the rich culture and traditions of his people and the challenges they faced in the changing world around them. Overall, Indian Boyhood is a fascinating and important account of Native American life in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
