Description

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Dakota life, Waterlily tells the story of two women who find refuge with a nearby community after leaving their family's camp. Their adoption and eventual integration into this new kinship circle offers a unique glimpse into the daily lives of the Sioux people.

The intricate kinship practices that created unity among Ella Cara Deloria's people are skillfully woven throughout the narrative, following Blue Bird and her daughter Waterlily as they navigate their new relationships. This powerful tale is presented in a new edition featuring an introduction by Susan Gardner and an index.
