"This is. the first presentation of the mythology of the Oglola Lakota Sioux in narrative form. Dooling has based her work on the'scholarship of James R. Walker, who around the turn of the century went to the Sioux as a physician and stayed to make transcriptions of the tales he heard from old medicine men. . . . The stories concern the Sacred Beings, the personalizations of the forces and spiritual qualities that underpin the Lakota universe, the first of which is Inyan, who had no beginning, and who created the Earth and the sea." —Publishers Weekly
D. M. DOOLING was the publisher, and founder of Parabola: The Magazine of Myth ahd Tradition.
