Abstract:
Perhaps no Indian people are better known than the Sioux. With rigorous scholarship and remarkably clear writing, a leading expert on the Sioux raises questions about their history while synthesizing the historical and anthropological research over a wide scope of issues and periods. This stimulating text includes historical sketches, topical debates, and imaginary reconstructions to engage readers in a deeper thinking of this fascinating people. The Sioux covers the entire historical range of the Sioux, from their emergence as an identifiable group in late prehistory to the year 2000. As an archaeologist, author Guy Gibbon has studied the material remains of the Sioux for many years. His expertise, his informative and engaging writing style, dozens of photographs, and the comprehensive endnotes and further reading lists make this a compelling and indispensable text for students, scholars, and readers of Sioux history
