Published in 1928, it is one of the earliest books written about Native Americans from a Native point-of-view. In this book, Luther Standing Bear - Sioux author, educator, and philosopher - provides an autobiographical account of his tribe and their customs. Focusing on activities such as traveling with a travois, building a tipi, buffalo hide tanning, beading, butchering, and food preparation, the film provides a basic profile of this Great Plains tribe. This undated film presents an introductory look into the lives of the Sioux people with the purpose of educating cultural outsiders.
