Part memoir, part ethnohistorical chronicle, My People the Sioux is one of the first published accounts of Native American life written by a Native American.

Luther Standing Bear was seemingly everywhere in the course of his extraordinary life. He met Chief Crazy Horse on the eve of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, was enrolled in the first class at the government-run Carlisle Indian Industrial School, witnessed the Ghost Dance movement, toured the US and Europe with showman Buffalo Bill, and devoted his later years to Indian rights. His firsthand accounts of those experiences—and his reflections on Sioux culture, customs, and traditions—combine to make this narrative a landmark of Native American literature.

Revised edition: Previously published as My People the Sioux, this edition of My People the Sioux (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Critic reviews

“Shaun Taylor-Corbett's narration is calm and friendly, and he handles this 1928 classic's occasional humor in a charming understated manner.… Taylor-Corbett brings the story to life, and his narration embodies its theme that the Lakota way of life is humane, well ordered, and worth preserving, despite some racist claims.”AudioFile Magazine
