From the Deep Woods to Civilization- Chapters in the Autobiography of an Indian
In this captivating sequel to Indian Boyhood, Charles Eastman, also known as Ohiyesa, shares his journey from a tribal lifestyle to assimilation into white mans society. At the tender age of 15, he was called to abandon his traditional ways, symbolized by cutting his long hair, and immerse himself in white mans education, as his father, a convert to Christianity, wished. He navigatively balances both cultures, from college to becoming a doctor at Pine Ridge in South Dakota. The narrative also sheds light on his marriage to Elaine Goodale and his active role in politics, the YMCA, and the Boy Scouts of America. Join us as we delve into Eastmans compelling life story.
