Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Madonna Swan: A Lakota Woman's Story, Mark St. Pierre skillfully weaves together his interviews with Madonna SwanAbdulla to capture the indomitable spirit of a Lakota woman as she celebrates the joys and endures the sufferings of her remarkable life on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota.Born in 1928, Madonna Swan was winonathe firstborn daughterof Lucy High Pine and James Swan. She held a special place in an extended family of grandparents, parents, and ten brothers and sisters.For the Swans, as for other Lakota Sioux, life on the reservation in the first half of the twentieth century was appallingly difficult. In her narrative, Madonna details her lifeher earliest childhood memories, the Lakota traditions taught by her grandparents, the daily struggle against poverty and prejudice, and her education at Stephan Mission, South Dakota.Stricken with dreaded tuberculosis at age sixteen, she survived nearly seven years in Sioux Sanitorium, a place where most other Sioux victims of TB quickly expired. Madonna's strength of spirit and determination to live carried her through the chanhu sicabadlungsand into a new life, free of disease. She survived to marry, have a family, go to college, and teach in the reservation's Head Start program.A symbol of courage for all women, Indian and nonIndian alike, Madonna SwanAbdulla was named North American Indian Woman of the Year in 1983. She still lives on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation, where her Lakota people honor her as matriarch.
