Das Wunder vom Little Bighorn

The World of the Old Lakota. John Okute Sica (1890-1964) was a Lakota Indian from Wood Mountain, Canada, who experienced the traditional way of life of his people in his childhood. His stories are a testament to the rich oral storytelling tradition of his tribe. They uniquely bring to life the world of the old Lakota. The range of narratives includes the depiction of the Battle of Little Bighorn from the Lakota perspective, unusual adventure tales, and treatises on the legendary pipe of the White Buffalo Calf, the art of war of the Lakota, and the feather headdress. With Maiden Chief, John Okute Sica created a novel-like love and adventure story that stands out uniquely in the indigenous literature of North America. Liselotte Welskopf-Henrich, who met the author in 1963, wrote the foreword.
