To the Plains Indians; the Sun Dance has traditionally been a profound religious ceremony; the highest form of worship of the Most Holy One. Thomas E. Mails was invited to attend and record in detail the Sioux Sun Dances at Rosebud and Pine Ridge. This was a singular honor no white man has been accorded before or since. The result is this groundbreaking work; illustrated with rare photographs and stunning four-color paintings.
