Couverture souple. Condition: Très bon. ''Ce texte est considéré aux Etats-Unis comme l'un des grands classiques sur la vie des Indiens. Recueilli directement par l'auteur sous la dictée d'un Winnebago (Sioux), le livre retrace les étapes de la vie de ce dernier qui lui ont paru les plus importantes, à une époque - au début du XXe siècle - où, les guerres indiennes terminées, les Indiens furent contraints d'abandonner leur mode de vie ancestral et se virent confrontés à la civilisation des Blancs. La richesse de l'ouvrage provient de sa diversité. Elevé dans une famille traditionnelle vivant de chasse et de cueillette, le narrateur est initié dès son plus jeune âge à la religion des Anciens et admis dans le cercle de la danse médecine. En dehors de son aspect autobiographique, ce livre est un gage vivant de l'effondrement des valeurs traditionnelles des Winnebagos ; il est une traduction de l'essence de l'âme indienne avec ses ambiguïtés et ses contradictions''. Étiquette vierge en deuxième de couverture.
