'When the Tee Flowered is John Neihardt's mature and reflective
interpretation of the old Sioux way of life. He served as a translator
of the Sioux past whose audience has proved not to be limited by space
or time. Through his writings, Black Elk, Eagle Elk, and other old men
who were of the last generation of Sioux to have participated in the old
buffalo-hunting life and disorienting period of strife with the U.S.
army found a literary voice.
