Overview

Indian Boyhood is the autobiographical work of Eastman's memories as a free Dakota Indian. At the age of fifteen, he was reunited with his father and embarked on a life in white man's society. He became a doctor, tending survivors of the Wounded Knee massacre, and spent the rest of his career helping Indian people come to terms with their changing world and the opposing values of the white culture.
