This book was written by Pete Catches & his son Peter. Pete Catches told these things to his son who translated them and put them into book form. There are a few sections that were written by Peter Catches as well.
Pete Catches was a Lakota Medicine Man from outside the Pineridge Rez....he was not always one....as at one time he preferred to live a life uncommitted to the Canka Luta Waste (Good Red Road)
Although the book covered Hanbleceya (Crying for a Vision), Wan Wangyang Wacipi (Sundance), Inipi (Coming Back to Life ceremony)....with explanations of those ceremonies....
I found this book to be rather boring and a bit didactic. I have read several other books by Lakota Wicasa Wakan (Medicine [Holy] Men) and there is always a sense of humor that goes along with some of their stories, a balance of serious & light. This book did not have that balance nor did it have that feeling of "humanity" that I have found in other books I have read by the Lakota & other Wicasa Wakan.
