A thoughtful account of the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 written by a member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton tribe in South Dakota whose ancestors were driven out of Minnesota after the conflict.

Elden Lawrence is a member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton tribe in South Dakota. His ancestors were driven out of Minnesota after the 1862 conflict, even though they opposed the war and actually helped some settlers escape the bloodshed.

This thoughtful account of the cultural and historical factors that led to the conflict is the result of a quest for his ancestry which he began while working toward a doctorate in sociology at South Dakota State University.
