It is the second volume of a two-part series that delves into the history and culture of the Dakotas, a Native American tribe that inhabited the Black Hills region of South Dakota. The book provides a detailed account of the final years of the Dakotas' traditional way of life, as they faced increasing pressure from white settlers and the US government to abandon their nomadic lifestyle and settle on reservations. Tallent's book is based on extensive research and includes firsthand accounts from both Native Americans and white settlers who lived in the region during this period. The author explores the complex relationships between the Dakotas and the various groups that sought to control their land, including the US Army, mining companies, and railroad companies. Throughout the book, Tallent also examines the spiritual and cultural beliefs of the Dakotas, including their connection to the land and their reverence for the natural world. She describes the rituals and ceremonies that were central to their way of life, as well as their rich oral tradition of storytelling.
