These Were The Sioux by Mari Sandoz

A vivid, sympathetic history of the Sioux people that reconstructs their life on the Great Plains—social organization, spiritual beliefs, buffalo-centered economy, ceremonies, and warrior culture—and then follows the upheaval brought by westward expansion, broken treaties, military conflict, and forced reservation life, portraying how individuals and communities resisted, adapted, and endured amid loss and change.
