About the Book

""The Heart of an Indian"" is a memoir written by Robert E. Callahan. The book tells the story of Callahan's life growing up in the early 20th century on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Callahan, who is of Irish descent, was adopted by a Lakota Sioux family as a young child and raised as one of their own. Throughout the book, Callahan shares his experiences of living on the reservation, including his relationships with his adoptive family, his struggles with assimilation, and his deep appreciation for Lakota culture and traditions. He also discusses the challenges faced by Native Americans during this time period, including poverty, discrimination, and the loss of their land and way of life.""The Heart of an Indian"" is a powerful and moving account of one man's journey to understand and embrace his Native American heritage. Callahan's writing is both poignant and insightful, offering readers a unique perspective on the complexities of identity, culture, and belonging.1927. A gripping story based upon a great American truth. From the Foreword: This story is based upon a terrible American truth. Pause a moment and let your vision shift to the only true, the only original Americans. There lies the reason for my tale. In our heartless material progress we never stop to think what impressions we are leaving for future generations. Far too many of us do not realize that the American Indian is, today, given no real opportunity to use his craftsmanship, his knowledge of nature, his skill in creative art toward the good of his people. Must we leave our children and their children to stare this naked truth in the face? Must they look back and ask why did our fathers allow this noble race to die? How much longer shall we sit upon he throne of success and with listless inattention gaze down upon these helpless men-their eyes dimmed by fruitless toil and tears? The merits of this book as a story must be left for the reader to judge. All of my characters are taken from life, although their names are fictitious. Chief Bearskin is modeled upon an Osage Chief now touring the country in behalf of his people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
