Blending Cultures: A Journey of Identity in Lakota Country

"Tracy Hauff offers a fascinating slice of American history...Through letters, official documents, photographs, and memoir, a poignant portrait emerges of one family's quest to forge a good life in volatile times. Fully resonant for our current era...reminding us that connection across seemingly impossible divides can be accomplished with open hearts." ~ Mona Susan Power, author of A Council of Dolls - 2023 National Book Awards Longlist, and The Grass Dancer - 1995 Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award for Best First Fiction. In Blending Cultures: A Journey of Identity in Lakota Country, three non-Native men bind themselves to the Lakota culture through marriage. This authentic family saga is rich in historical detail, offering a profound human perspective on intermarriages in the 19th century. Follow their struggles and triumphs as they search for a home in the American West, navigating the complexities of assimilation, displacement, and the traumatic impact of government boarding schools. Experience the era when two worlds collided, and a new family identity was created centering on love, resilience, and courage.
