Book excerpt: "One of the seven branches of the Lakota, the Oglala were members of the wealthiest and mightiest Native American nations. Led by giants such as Red Cloud and Crazy Horse, these are the people that brought America to the table and signed the Treaty of 1868 and destroyed Custer at the Little Big Horn eight years later. ... Descendants of Wounded Knee is an unvarnished account of life on the Pine Ridge. Told around the 1999 unsolved murder of Wally Black Elk and Ronnie Hard Heart, Descendants tells how the United States has sought the destruction of a people and a way of life that had existed for thousands of years"--Publisher's description.
