Storyteller,
rebel, medicine man, Lame Deer was born almost a century ago on the
Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. A full-blooded Sioux, he was many
things in the white man's world but, above all, he was a holy man of the
Lakota tribe. The story he tells is one of harsh youth and reckless
manhood, shotgun marriage and divorce, history and folklore as rich
today as ever.
