The Lakotas and the Black Hills The Struggle for Sacred Ground

This virtual "Black & Yellow Theatre: Voices of the Powder River Basin from The Black Hills to Yellowstone" was originally broadcast on February 19, 2021. Featuring special guest, Dr. Jeffrey Ostler from the University of Oregon and his book "The Lakotas and The Black Hills: The Struggle for Sacred Ground." The Lakota have long made their home in the majestic Black Hills, drawing on the endless bounty for physical and spiritual sustenance. The arrival of Settlers brought the Lakotas into inexorable conflict with the changing world, at a time when their tribal nation would produce some of the most famous Native Americans in history, including Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse. Jeffrey Ostler’s powerful history of the Lakota struggle captures the heart of a people whose deep relationship with their homeland would compel them to fight for it against overwhelming odds, on battlefields as varied as the Little Bighorn and the chambers of U.S. Supreme Court. Dr. Jeffrey Ostler is Beekman Professor of Northwest and Pacific History at the University of Oregon, where he teaches courses on the history of the American West and American Indian history. His books include The Plains Sioux and U.S. Colonialism from Lewis and Clark to Wounded Knee, published by Cambridge University Press in 2004 with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the recipient of the Caughey Prize for the best book in Western History from the Western History Association; and The Lakotas and the Black Hills: The Struggle for Sacred Ground, published by Viking Press in 2010; and Surviving Genocide: Native Nations and the United States from the American Revolution to Bleeding Kansas, also supported by the NEH and published in 2019 by Yale University Press. Ostler resides on the traditional homelands of the Kalapuya people in what is now the state of Oregon.
