About this listen
Charles Alexander Eastman (1858 -1939), also known as “Ohiyesa”, was an author, physician, and lecturer of Santee Sioux and Anglo-American heritage. As a passionate advocate for the rights of American Indians, he took an active role in national politics. Indian Boyhood is a memoir that chronicles the first 15 years of his life with fascinating portrayals of Sioux culture, including training as a hunter and warrior, religious beliefs and practices, and the role of the medicine man. The stories in Old Indian Days focus mainly on the life of the Sioux bands of the Upper Midwest before exposure to the White man's world. The narratives allude to historical figures like Little Crow and Tamahay and to the 1862 Sioux Uprising in Minnesota, an event that Eastman experienced as a small boy.
