Forty-five year old Gus Gravesen is a successful San Francisco event producer. Mid-career and midlife, he is still in love with his wife and enjoys his job. But one odd and engaging trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota changes his life. Gus becomes obsessed with the plight of the Lakota Sioux and with the role his family might have played in their oppression decades before. Recurring trips to the Black Hills fuel Gus's fascination.

Book Description
In August 1862 the Dakota of Eastern Sioux resorted to armed conflict against the white settlers of southern Minnesota. This study uses an ethnohistorical approach to explain why the bonds of peace between the Dakota and the whites were suddenly broken. It shows how the Dakota concept of kinsmen affected the tribe's complex relationships with the whites. The Dakota were obliged to help their relatives by any means possible. Traders who were adopted or married into the tribe gained from this relationship, but had reciprocal responsibilities. After the 1820s, the trade in furs declined, more whites moved into the territory, and the Dakota became more economically dependent on the whites. When American officials and traders failed to fulfil their obligations, many Dakotas finally saw the whites as enemies to be driven from Minnesota.; This edition includes a new introduction by the author, who comments on scholarly developments in the field of ethnohistory in the 19th century.
