Charles Alexander Eastman ragt unter den Autoren der amerikanischen Ureinwohner heraus, da er die Welten der traditionellen Erzählkunst und der formalen Gelehrsamkeit vereinte. Aufgezogen in den traditionellen Wegen der Woodland Sioux durch seine Großmutter, erwarb er ein intimes, aus erster Hand gewonnenes Verständnis für die Lebensweise, Sprache und mündliche Überlieferung seines Volkes. Später verfolgte er eine formale Ausbildung und wurde Arzt, der die Opfer des Massakers von Wounded Knee versorgte. Diese einzigartige doppelte Perspektive ermöglichte es ihm, sein kulturelles Erbe authentisch zu dokumentieren, ohne die Vermittlung von Übersetzern oder externen Beobachtern.
