Unfencing the Range: History, Identity, Property, and Apocalypse in "Lame Deer Seeker of Visions."

Sanborn, Geoff

American Indian Culture and Research Journal, v14 n4 p39-57 1990

Seemingly chaotic to Western eyes, John Lame Deer's autobiography has a meaningful structure based on Lakota numerology and oral tradition. The book explores conflicts between White and Indian conceptions of identity and property, and sees itself as an instrument in the apocalyptic triumph of Indian spirituality over White greed. (SV)
