The bestselling memoir of a Native American woman’s struggles and the life she found in activism: “courageous, impassioned, poetic and inspirational” (Publishers Weekly).   Mary Brave Bird grew up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota in a one-room cabin without running water or electricity. With her white father gone, she was left to endure “half-breed” status amid the violence, machismo, and aimless drinking of life on the reservation. Rebelling against all this—as well as a punishing Catholic missionary school—she became a teenage runaway.   Mary was eighteen and pregnant when the rebellion at Wounded Knee happened in 1973. Inspired to take action, she joined the American Indian Movement to fight for the rights of her people. Later, she married Leonard Crow Dog, the AIM’s chief medicine man, who revived the sacred but outlawed Ghost Dance.   Originally published in 1990, Lakota Woman was a national bestseller and winner of the American Book Award. It is a story of determination against all odds, of the cruelties perpetuated against American Indians, and of the Native American struggle for rights. Working with Richard Erdoes, one of the twentieth century’s leading writers on Native American affairs, Brave Bird recounts her difficult upbringing and the path of her fascinating life.

Mary Crow Dog, with the help of a ghost writer, provides an intimate look into the life of Native Americans, particularly the life of the Lakota Sioux. The daughter of a Lakota mother and a "white truck driver," Mary ultimately chose to live as an Indian. During the course of her life she endured the harsh life of a Roman Catholic school while being introduced to Native American religious culture. After marrying Leonard Crow Dog she reared her son from a previous relationship as well as Leonard's children. She endured the 1972 encampment at Wounded Knee and, even as a very young mother, learned to be the wife of a medicine man and tribal leader. Even during Leonard's several imprisonments Mary remained faithful. Her travels took her from rural South Dakota to urban New York City as she sought to be near Leonard. She gained many friends through the American Indian Movement (AIM) and counted among her friends many "White" Americans and celebrities. After years living as a rebellious youngster she finally reconciled with her mother, having come to appreciate her mother's struggles.
