From the Deep Woods to Civilization
by Charles Eastman
Charles Eastman (1858-1939), the Santee Dakota born Hakadah and named Ohiyesa, tells of his journey from a traditional childhood to a medical degree and a life among white society. Subtitled "chapters in the autobiography of an Indian," it reckons honestly with what he gained and what he lost.
The changed life
Eastman took the name Charles when he embraced Christianity, then trained as a physician and served at Pine Ridge. His autobiography measures the new faith and the new world against the Dakota values he was raised in, refusing easy answers.
