The chiefs Hole-in-the-Day were acclaimed legends on the Minnesota frontier in their own time, and the foremost leaders of the Ojibway, or Chippewa, tribe between 1825 and 1868. Long neglected by historians, this is the first comprehensive, short biography ever published about them.

Mark Diedrich

<p>This is the first book-length biography of Standing Buffalo, the last great Sisseton chief. Although he was a strong proponent of maintaining peaceful relations with the whites, he found himself inextricably caught up in events which led up to and included the Dakota War of 1862. For the following nine years he wandered the upper great plains, a man without a country. He finally died a suicidal-warrior's death in a battle with the Gros Ventres in Montana. His son and band were given a reserve in Saskatchewan, Canada, where their descendents remain today.</p>

Odyssey of Chief Standing Buffalo and the Northern Sisseton Sioux

<p>This unique volume, the first in a series of three oratory-related books, is devoted to the speechs and the stories behind them of the Eastern Dakota, or Santee, tribes. To a notable degree the collection becomes a history in their own words. The reader will find reference to important events, such as the Dakota War of 1862, as well as expressive statements which give a sense of Dakota culture and religion. Over 80 speeches are included.</p>

Dakota Oratory (1695-1874)

Literary

This volume, the second in a series of upper-midwestern Indian oratory-related books, is devoted to the speeches (and the stories behind them) of the Ojibway, or Chippewa, people, culled from almost two centuries of their history. The speeches were given by some forty individuals from about twenty different locations, from Sault Ste. Marie to Turtle Mountain. Featured are such prominent orators as Shingabaossin, Broken Tooth, Flat Mouth, the elder and younger Hole-in-the-Days, and White Cloud. Oratorical ability was a well-respected gift among the Ojibways, as it was the principle means of formulating public opinion and consensus of action. This body of speeches therefore is an invaluable expression of how the Ojibways felt and responded at particular points in time, and richly demonstrates their character, beliefs, and attitudes on the great issues of their lives.
