Book excerpt: In this follow-up to her acclaimed memoir Lakota Woman, the bestselling author shares “a grim yet gripping account” of Native American life (The Boston Globe). In this stirring sequel to the now-classic Lakota Woman, Mary Brave Bird continues the chronicle of her life with the same grit, passion, and piercing insight. It is a tale of ancient glory and present anguish, of courage and despair, of magic and mystery, and, above all, of the survival of both body and mind. Having returned home from Wounded Knee in 1973 and gotten married to American Indian movement leader Leonard Crow Dog, Mary became a mother who had hope of a better life. But, as she says, “Trouble always finds me.” With brutal frankness she bares her innermost thoughts, recounting the dark as well as the bright moments in her tumultuous life. She talks about the stark truths of being a Native American living in a white-dominated society as well as her experience of being a mother, a woman, and, rarest of all, a Sioux feminist. Filled with contrasts, courage, and endurance, Ohitika Woman is a powerful testament to Mary’s will and spirit.

Book Synopsis Lakota Woman by : Mary Crow Dog

Book excerpt: The bestselling memoir of a Native American woman’s struggles and the life she found in activism: “courageous, impassioned, poetic and inspirational” (Publishers Weekly). Mary Brave Bird grew up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota in a one-room cabin without running water or electricity. With her white father gone, she was left to endure “half-breed” status amid the violence, machismo, and aimless drinking of life on the reservation. Rebelling against all this—as well as a punishing Catholic missionary school—she became a teenage runaway. Mary was eighteen and pregnant when the rebellion at Wounded Knee happened in 1973. Inspired to take action, she joined the American Indian Movement to fight for the rights of her people. Later, she married Leonard Crow Dog, the AIM’s chief medicine man, who revived the sacred but outlawed Ghost Dance. Originally published in 1990, Lakota Woman was a national bestseller and winner of the American Book Award. It is a story of determination against all odds, of the cruelties perpetuated against American Indians, and of the Native American struggle for rights. Working with Richard Erdoes, one of the twentieth century’s leading writers on Native American affairs, Brave Bird recounts her difficult upbringing and the path of her fascinating life.

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had become very depressed. I had no place to live, and my book had not sold well. I was constantly borrowing money from my co-author Richard. I was often getting drunk, and when I was, I would get rowdy and foul-mouthed. #2 I was partying with some friends on March 28 when I wrecked. I was taken to the tribal hospital, where they thought that my neck had been broken. I was flown to the big hospital at Sioux Falls. My mother came down from He Dog to be with me. #3 I had been going through a lot before the accident, and was depressed. I had been drinking heavily, and when I woke up after the surgery, I had a vision of my grandma, who had raised me, telling me to go back to the world and my responsibilities. #4 After the accident, I spent a month in the hospital. They put staples in my back and in other spots where I had surgery. I couldn’t move at all, and I had to call the nurse whenever I wanted to change position. I was eventually able to get around, but I was restless and tired of being cooped up in a hospital.
