Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

The Epic Fall of the American Indian

A historically grounded, morally weighty drama about the systematic destruction of Native American sovereignty, told through the conflicting perspectives of assimilation and resistance.

Beginning just after the bloody Sioux victory over General Custer at Little Big Horn, the story is told through two unique perspectives: Charles Eastman, a young, white-educated Sioux doctor held up as living proof of the alleged success of assimilation, and Sitting Bull the proud Lakota chief whose tribe won the American Indians’ last major victory at Little Big Horn.
