Ohiyesa (Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman) Santee Sioux "The true Indian sets no price upon either his property or his labor. His generosity is limited only by his strength and ability. He regards it as an honor to be selected for difficult or dangerous service and would think it shameful to ask for any reward, saying rather: "Let the person I serve express his thanks according to his own bringing up and his sense of honor. Each soul must meet the morning sun, the new sweet earth, and the Great Silence alone!. What is Silence? It is the Great Mystery! The Holy Silence is His voice! Whenever, in the course of the daily hunt, the hunter comes upon a scene that is strikingly beautiful or sublime a black thundercloud with the rainbow's arch above the mountain, a white waterfall in the heart of a green gorge, a vast prairie tinged with the blood-red of the sunset he pauses for an instant in an attitude of worship. He sees no need for setting apart one day in seven as a holy day, because to him all days are God's days. The first American mingled with his pride a singular humility. Spiritual arrogance was foreign to his nature and teaching. He never claimed that the power of articulate speech was proof of superiority over the dumb creation; on the other hand, it is to him a perilous gift.

2. Crazy Horse/Tashunkewitko, Oglala Biography of Crazy Horse by Ohiyesa (Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman). http://www.indians.org/welker/crazyhor.htm

Crazy Horse/Tashunkewitko , Oglala "A very great vision is needed and the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky. I was hostile to the white man...we preferred hunting to a life of idleness on our reservations. At times we did not get enough to eat and we were not allowed to hunt. All we wanted was peace and to be left alone. Soldiers came and destroyed our villages. Then Long Hair (Custer) came...They say we massacred him, but he would have done the same to us. Our first impulse was to escape but we were so hemmed in we had to fight." Crazy Horse, as Remembered by Ohiyesa (Charles A. Eastman) Crazy Horse (Tashunkewitko) was born on the Republican River about 1845. He was killed at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, in 1877, so that he lived barely thirty-three years. He was an uncommonly handsome man. While not the equal of Gall in magnificence and imposing stature, he was physically perfect, an Apollo in symmetry. Furthermore he was a true type of Indian refinement and grace. He was modest and courteous as Chief Joseph; the difference is that he was a born warrior, while Joseph was not. However, he was a gentle warrior, a true brave, who stood for the highest ideal of the Sioux. Notwithstanding all that biased historians have said of him, it is only fair to judge a man by the estimate of his own people rather than that of his enemies. The boyhood of Crazy Horse was passed in the days when the western Sioux saw a white man but seldom, and then it was usually a trader or a soldier. He was carefully brought up according to the tribal customs. At that period the Sioux prided themselves on the training and development of their sons and daughters, and not a step in that development was overlooked as an excuse to bring the child before the public by giving a feast in its honor. At such times the parents often gave so generously to the needy that they almost impoverished themselves, thus setting an example to the child of self-denial for the general good. His first step alone, the first word spoken, first game killed, the attainment of manhood or womanhood, each was the occasion of a feast and dance in his honor, at which the poor always benefited to the full extent of the parents' ability.

Ohiyesa This is also an adult book that covers topics many older teens are interested in. Ohiyesa, a Santee Dakota, lived a frustrated life in both the Native and white worlds. As a child, Ohiyesa was educated in the traditional teachings. His father, however, saw the Native way of live being extinguished and sent him to Dartmouth and Boston University to learn medicine. The student changed his name to Charles Alexander Eastman. After experiencing the corruption of Indian agents upon his return to Pine Ridge, South Dakota, Eastman spent the rest of his life trying to bring Natives and whites to a greater understanding of each other. This small gift book contains short inspirational passages from Ohiyesa's writings, from the love of nature to the moral strength of women to the Indian sense of rightness and justice. This is an appropriate gift for an occasion where encouragement and strength are required. Reviewed by Steve Brock Add: Wigwam Evenings ($10)), Old Indian Days($9) both also available from AISES.

Global Nativity - Indigenous Wisdom In the preface to his newest translation of the classic The Life of Apollonius of Tyana (by Philostratus in 220AD) its editor, James Loeb, in 1912 wrote: "Means must be found to place these treasures within the reach of all who care for the finer things of life. The mechanical and social achievements of our day must not blind our eyes to the fact that, in all that relates to man, his nature and aspirations, we have added little or nothing to what has been so finely said by the great men of old." Inclusive of this work by Charles Eastman, "The Soul of the Indian" , the editor has strived to engineer WWW solutions towards these means so that all - in particular those Students of Life - may learn of the nature of life in both the Inner World and the Outer World. For those who have the ears to hear the words of Eastman concerning the nature of the soul and the nature of nature are no different from those expressed 5600 years earlier in the Vedas , 3200 years earlier in the Upanishads , 2400 years earlier by Buddha and Lao Tsu in the East and Pythagoras and other PreSocratics in the West, 1900 years earlier by

As a Sioux, he was known as Ohiyesa. His father was a Sioux Indian; his mother was the daughter of a U.S. Army officer and the granddaughter of a famous Sioux chief. Ohiyesa had the traditional upbringing of a Sioux from 1858 to 1874, followed by an undergraduate degree from Dartmouth and a medical degree from Boston University Medical School. He became a fully licensed physician. He was the only physician to aid victims of the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890. Because of racism, his ability to earn a living as a physician was always difficult. To support his family, in 1895 he began working for the YMCA organizing programs for youth living on Indian reservations. In 1920 he helped verify the burial site of Sacajawea.

The Soul of an Indian by Ohiyesa Native American Indian spirituality and relgion has been long misunderstood and misinterpretated by scholars, ethnologists and other outsiders. Coming from (mostly) a Christian background, these reporters tend to see thigns as related to their own religion, making connections and assumptions that stem from their own personal beliefs and faith. Ohiyesa (Anglicized name: Charles Alexander Eastman) gives the Westernized world a doorway into the Native American Spirituality from an insider's perspective. Born in southern Minnesota, he was raised in the traditional Souix system and was taught the Earthly ways of his people. Eventually, Ohiyesa was put in white man's schools, obtained his PhD, and returned to his heritage to fight to preserve his culture. "I have attempted to paint the religious life of the typical American Indian as it was before we knew the white race. I have long wished to do this, because I cannot ifnd that it hsa ever been seriously, adequately, and sincerely done. Our religion is the last thing about us that the person of another race will ever understand," writes Ohiyesa. His book, The Soul of an Indian, writes of many subjects, such as The Great Mystery, Poverty and Simplicity, the Miracle of eth Ordinary, the Moral Strength of Women, Friendship, the Meaning of Death, the Effect of the White Religion, and much more. This small book is only 66 pages, and it's wisdom and ability to educate colors every page. As Uncheedah, teh Grandmother of Ohiyesa said, "When you see a new trail, or a footprint you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing."

The Doric Column January 22, 2003 The Fort Above the River From the Deep Woods: Ohiyesa New Vistas in a Scientific Age: Medtronic's Stephen Oesterle The Fort Above the River "I look back at what the Mississippi is to me, and it's the giver of life." Jim Jones, Jr. Leech Lake Ojibwe quoted in The Mississippi and the Making of a Nation by Stephen E. Ambrose and Douglas G. Brinkley National Geographic, 2002 I live on Edgcumbe Road in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul. It's about a 15-minute walk from my house across a bridge over the Mississippi River to land that was part of the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The land is a bluff. On top of the bluff is Historic Fort Snelling. Fort Snelling sits at the confluence of two great rivers: the Mississippi and the Minnesota. Both are descendants of the ancient River Warren, the furious torrent that drained the vastness of glacial Lake Agassiz. Both rivers have shaped Minnesota's history. But it is the Mississippi that captures the imagination of a nation. Of all the metaphors that serve to give poetic life to that great river, perhaps those from biology are the most common. Writer and humorist Garrison Keillor, in William Harvey-like fashion, calls the Mississippi the "artery of a continent, lifeblood of a country."
