Аннотация
Charles Alexander Eastman (1858-1939), of Santee Sioux and Anglo-American heritage, was a passionate advocate for the rights of American Indians. He took an active role in national politics, in addition to his work as a physician, writer and lecturer. He served on the founding committee of the YMCA, establishing 32 Native American chapters, worked as agency physician for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and represented the American Indian at the Universal Races Congress in London, 1911. He was invited by the Coolidge administration to the Committee of One Hundred, the group responsible for the Meriam report, which eventually served as the basis for Roosevelt's New Deal for the Indian. This is Eastman's first publication, a memoir, which chronicles his first 15 years of life. It gives fascinating insight into the Santee Sioux culture, including hunter and warrior training, religious practices, medicine men, and life before acclimation into the white man's world.
Аннотация
Charles Alexander Eastman (Ohiyesa) wrote “The Soul of the Indian” to examine the spiritual history of Native American’s before European settlement in America. Born of Minnesota Sioux parents in South Dakota, Charles Eastman spent his life working with Natives and Europeans to bridge cultural divides. Born into and raised by a traditional Sioux family, Eastman developed a deep connection to the life of American Indians. Yet at the age of 15 Eastman’s father persuaded him to adopt a European lifestyle. Consequently he graduated from Dartmouth in 1887 and continued medical studies at Boston University. Becoming one of the most traditionally educated Native Americans in the country, Eastman began writing works exploring the changing identities of Native Americans in the early 20th century. In 1902 he published “Indian Boyhood.” He followed with several books including “Old Indian Days”, and “Indian Stories Retold.” His 1911 work “The Soul of the Indian” vividly depicts Native spiritual and religious practices and beliefs, bringing their rich cultural origins to life. His career as an author led him into the sphere of political and cultural activism, making him an effective champion of Native American’s rights. Eastman’s lifelong work of mediation between two seemingly disparate cultures made him one of the most influential American Indians of his day. “The Soul of the Indian” is not to be missed by anyone interested in the diverse fabric of the American identity. This edition includes a biographical afterword.
