Book - With My Own Eyes: A Lakota Woman Tells Her People's History

Paperback, 187 pages, published 1999. Very good used condition. Minor cosmetic signs of use--some light scuffing to the cover and a couple of small bends--but otherwise this copy is in great shape. No writing, no highlights. The binding is tight and all pages are intact. "Susan Bordeaux Bettelyoun was the daughter of a French-American fur trader and a Brulé Lakota woman. Raised near Fort Laramie, she experienced firsthand the often devastating changes forced on the Lakotas. As she grew older, she became increasingly dissatisfied with the way her people’s history was being represented by non-indigenous people. In this book she shares her attempt to correct misconceptions about Lakota history. Bettelyoun’s narrative was recorded during the 1930s by another Lakota historian, Josephine Waggoner. A detailed, insightful account of Lakota history that was never previously published."
