About The Book: From the Deep Woods to Civilization by Charles A. Eastman is a powerful autobiographical account tracing his journey from a traditional Santee Sioux upbringing to life as a Western-educated physician and advocate for Native American rights. Written in 1916, the book explores Eastman's inner conflict between his indigenous heritage and the pressures of assimilation into white American society. It details his education, work with the U.S. government, and experiences during events like the Wounded Knee Massacre. Through personal reflection, Eastman offers a unique perspective on identity, cultural survival, and the challenges faced by Native Americans in a rapidly changing world.
