Kurzbeschreibung
This revised and updated edition contains the most important writings of Charles Eastman (Ohiyesa), the first Native American author to live simultaneously in both the traditional world of the Santee Sioux and the modern civilization of the white man. Dr. Eastman also attended the injured at the Battle of Wounded Knee. Ohiyesa's works represent a complete explanation of the philosophy and moral code of the Plains Indian. Ohiyesa's message speaks to every person who seeks a spiritual way in the midst of a society increasingly dominated by materialism and industrial technology. Sun Dance chief, James Trosper writes, It is a small miracle that these important spiritual teachings have been preserved for us. This new edition contains 10 sepia photographs from Eastman's life and a thought-provoking foreword by Raymond Wilson.

Amazing work from Charles Eastman
29. Juli 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The author has changed my ideas of who the American Indians are. I was swept away by the descriptions and mesmerized by the spiritual life of a people who were closer to God than I ever imagined. This book should be read at schools and universities. Their history is vital to understand who all of us are.

An essential addition to any Native American or spirituality holding.

Format:Taschenbuch
Michael Oren Fitzgerald edits THE ESSENTIAL CHARLES EASTMAN, which revises and updates a classic edition containing the writings of the first American Indian medical doctor and co-founder of the Boy Scouts of America. He was the only American Indian author raised to young adulthood in the nomadic lifestyle of the pre-reservation area: this survey includes a biography, complete bibliography of his works, new sepia photos from his life, and more: an essential addition to any Native American or spirituality holding.

A mandatory read for all Americans
16. Juni 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This amazing, marvelous, brilliant little boy was orphaned -- for a while -- when his father disappeared at wounded knee. His tribe fled to Canada and he was raised by grandparents in a tee pee. What he didn't know was that his father had not been killed, but was, in fact, captured and imprisoned by the American Army. When Ohiyesa was 12, the prison released his dad, and the two were reunited when his father finally found him. The two returned to the United States, the young boy was enrolled in American private schools. He assumed the name Charles Eastman. He was accepted by Dartmouth College, and eventually became an M.D. But it was difficult for a Native American physician to practice medicine, so writing was one way for Eastman to support himself. He wrote many essays and short books describing the values, beliefs, and lifestyle of the Sioux Native Americans. These accounts torpedo the stereotypes and present the purist possible view of Native man and woman; They are earliest, and most accurate descriptions written by a Native American in the English language, that I have been able to find so far. Eastman's works are simple, elegant, streamlined, graceful, lyrical, and profound. His writing can be, therefore, nothing less than intriguing. I believe it speaks to the soul of humanity. This author should be a big name in American literature. Why isn't he?
