Lame Deer Seeker of Visions
Lame Deer<br/>Storyteller, rebel, medicine man, Lame Deer was born almost a century ago on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. A full-blooded Sioux, he was many things in the white man's world — rodeo clown, painter, prisioner. But, above all, he was a holy man of the Lakota tribe.<br/>Seeker of Vision<br/>The story he tells is one of harsh youth and reckless manhood, shotgun marriage and divorce, history and folklore as rich today as ever — and of his fierce struggle to keep pride alive, though living as a stranger in his own ancestral land.
