Description

James R. Walker was a physician to the Pine Ridge Sioux from 1896 to 1914.
His accounts of this time, taken from his personal papers, reveal much about Lakota life and culture.
This third volume of previously unpublished material from the Walker collection presents his work on Lakota myth and legend.
This edition includes classic examples of Lakota oral literature, narratives that were known only to a few Oglala holy men, and Walker’s own literary cycle based on all he had learned about Lakota myth.
“Lakota Myth” is an indispensable source for students of comparative literature, religion, and mythology, as well as those interested in Lakota culture.
