Publisher's summary

In this enthralling narrative, professor and award-winning author Jeffrey Ostler recounts the Lakota Sioux’s loss of their spiritual homeland and their remarkable legal battle to regain it. Moving easily from battlefields to reservations to Supreme Court chambers, Ostler captures the strength that bore the Lakotas through the worst times and kept alive the dream of reclaiming their cherished lands.

Answered our questions!

We enjoyed the book. We were traveling to the Badlands and Blackhills area and wanted to understand the history of the region. This was perfect!

Excellent. Exactly what I was looking for.

I wanted a complete, unbiased, easy-to-read overview of the issues surrounding the Lakota peoples and their fight for the Black Hills, as well as the overall history of the Lakota. This was exactly that. I can really find no fault at all with this book. If someone ever asked me for the "one book to read" on the Lakota and their history and struggles, this would be it.

not interested in this kind of detail

A very boring book and loss my interest quickly. This book contained detail of no interest to me. I was unwilling to finish the book.
