About This Item
University of Nebraska Press, 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New/Fine. 6x1x8. Signed by Author. Told in their own words, Turtle Lung Womanâs Granddaughter is the unforgettable story of several generations of Lakota women who grew up on the open plains of northern Nebraska and southern South Dakota. Delphine Red Shirt has delicately woven the life stories of her mother, Lone Woman, and Red Shirtâs great-grandmother, Turtle Lung Woman, into a continuous narrative that succeeds triumphantly as a moving, epic saga of Lakota women from traditional times in the midânineteenth century to the present. Especially revealing are Turtle Lung Womanâs relationship with her husband, Paints His Face with Clay, her healing practice as a medicine woman, Lone Womanâs hardships and celebrations growing up in the early twentieth century, and many wonderful details of their domestic lives before and during the early reservation years.
