The Lakota and Dakota are among the most famous indigenous peoples of North America. Known as ‘Sioux’, they were feared for their fierce resistance to the advance of white Americans. Today, they are no longer fighting the U.S. Cavalry, but poverty, alcoholism, racism, and pipelines. ‘Broken Hoop’ describes their history from the first contact with Europeans until today – their wanderings, their development from horticulture farmers to nomads on horseback, their fight for their land and their way of life, and their dealing with the modern world.
