Autor

Charles Alexander Eastman, born Ohiyesa in 1858 on the Santee Dakota reservation, was a renowned Native American author, physician, and reformer. Eastman's unique life bridged the gap between his indigenous heritage and the European-American culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was one of the first Native Americans to receive a Western medical education, earning his degree from Boston University.

His literary legacy serves as a significant contribution to Native American literature, with seminal works like 'The Greatest Indian Heroes and Chieftains' providing a powerful and authentic voice from within the indigenous community. This book, among others, showcased his skillful narrative which brought forth the resilience and nobility of Native American leaders.
