The Lakotas and the Black Hills: The Struggle for Sacred Ground is a 238-page history of the people known as the Lakota and their legal struggle for the return of their sacred land , the Black Hills. This book explores the relationship between the Lakota people and the Black Hills, their homeland and spiritual centre; chronicles their fight to preserve it in the face of conflict with white settlers in the nineteenth century; and traces the legal struggle in which the Lakota set out to prove the lands were unjustly taken from them, which included a Supreme Court decision in their favour.
