Land of the Spotted Eagle Luther Standing Bear

• Luther Standing Bear was an Oglala Sioux who graduated from the celebrated Carlisle Indian School. After operating a dry goods store on an Indian reservation, he became an actor, first working in Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show. Land of the Spotted Eagle and other books were intended by Standing Bear to show the plight of Native Americans and in particular to stop efforts to completely assimilate them into American society while eradicating their native culture.
• According to Standing Bear, what is the last great crime being committed by whites against Indians?
• How does he feel being “civilized” has affected him?
• What will happen to Native Americans if their traditions and culture are totally suppressed?
