Old Indian Days by Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa) is a collection of stories portraying the traditional life of the Sioux people. Divided into two parts—one devoted to the lives of warriors and hunters, the other to women—the book captures the courage, honor, and spirituality of Native American culture. Through vivid tales of buffalo hunts, battles, courtship, and daily hardships, Eastman celebrates the dignity and heroism of his people. Drawing upon his own Dakota heritage and childhood experiences, he offers readers an authentic glimpse into a vanishing way of life, emphasizing values of bravery, loyalty, generosity, and harmony with the natural world.
