Books by Charles A. Eastman

Presents the religious life of the typical American Indian as it was before he knew the white man.

A collection of Sioux Tao told in prose a child of any culture, of any time, can comprehend. It presents the tribe's values and presents them in a language direct and engaging.

Contains biographical vignettes of fifteen great Indian leaders, most of them Sioux and some of them, like Red Cloud and Rain-in-the-Face, friends and acquaintances.

Talks about the 1862 Sioux Uprising in Minnesota that sent the author's family into exile in Canada. This work describes his childhood there, which ended when his father, who had been presumed dead, appeared to take him back to the United States. It also relates the various aspects of the rich traditional life of the Santee Sioux.

Focuses on Sioux bands of the Upper Midwest in prereservation times, when contact with whites was minimal. This title alludes to historical figures like Little Crow and Tamahay and to an event that Eastman experienced as a small boy, the 1862 Sioux Uprising in Minnesota.

In an earlier book, Indian Boyhood, Charles Alexander Eastman (Ohiyesa) recounted the story of his traditional Sioux Childhood and youth. From the Deep Woods to Civilization, first published in 1916, continues the narrative, beginning with his abrupt entry into the mainstream of Anglo-American life in 1873 at the age of fifteen.
