Lakota Voices is a striking blend of oral history and archival photography, gathering the first-person testimony of Lakota and Dakota elders and descendants alongside nearly a hundred rare historical portraits of the chiefs, warriors, and medicine men who shaped their nation — Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, and dozens more, drawn from the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, and private collections. Spoken to author Allen Cody, the narrative moves from the open plains of pre-reservation life through the trauma of Wounded Knee and the residential schools, into the voices of modern activists like Russell Means and Leonard Peltier — a people who, in their own words, "have been lying down for a long time" but are "still alive." Rooted in the Lakota principle Mitakuye Oyasin — all life is related — this is a visually powerful, deeply human record of survival, loss, and enduring pride, for readers anywhere drawn to Indigenous history, portrait photography, and the resilience of a people who refused to disappear.
