With the help and guidance of many native elders and historians in both the United States and Canada, ethnographer Lance J. Dorrel and Cheyenne tribal member Donovan Taylor present an unprecedented collected oral history from over 250 Cheyenne, Arapaho, Gros Ventre, Cree, Blackfeet, Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, Nakoda and Crow people, including accounts that have never before appeared in print. By following the trail set forth by the oral history told to them, the authors bring previously hidden fascinating history into the public record.
