During the 1920s and 1930s, Josephine Waggoner (18711943), a Lakota woman who had been educated at Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia, grew increasingly concerned that the history and culture of her people were being lost as elders died without passing along their knowledge. A skilled writer, Waggoner set out to record the lifeways of her people and correct much of the misinformation about them spread by white writers, journalists, and scholars of the day. To accomplish this task, she traveled to several Lakota and Dakota reservations to interview chiefs, elders, traditional tribal historians, and other tribal members, including women.Published for the first time and augmented by extensive annotations, Witness offers a rare participants perspective on nineteenth and early twentiethcentury Lakota and Dakota life. The first of Waggoners two manuscripts presented here includes extraordinary firsthand and astoldto historical stories by tribal members, such as accounts of life in the Powder River camps and at the agencies in the 1870s, the experiences of a mixedblood H?kpap?a girl at the first offreservation boarding school, and descriptions of traditional beliefs. The second manuscript consists of Waggoners sixty biographies of Lakota and Dakota chiefs and headmen based on eyewitness accounts and interviews with the men themselves. Together these singular manuscripts provide new and extensive information on the history, culture, and experiences of the Lakota and Dakota peoples.

Unfortunately, 'Song of the Lakotas' arrived with a dented cover, which was disappointing. The content seems good, but I was put off by the condition it came in. Definitely needs better packaging!

Beautiful storytelling of Lakota history
Witness really captured the essence of Lakota culture in 'Song of the Lakotas.' The historical insights are woven beautifully with the narrative. I bought it for my dad, and he couldn't put it down!
