Lame Deer: Storyteller, rebel, medicine man, Lame Deer was born almost eighty years ago on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. A full-blooded Sioux, he has been many things in the white man's world - rodeo clown, painter, prisoner. But, above all, he is a holy man of the Lakota tribe.
Seeker of Visions: The story he tells is one of harsh youth and reckless manhood, shotgun marriage and divorce, history and folklore as rich today as ever - and of his fierce struggle to keep pride alive, though living as a stranger in his own ancestral land.

With 32 pages of photographs.
