Bibliography


The following books were used in the preparation of The Lodge of Šung'manitu-Išna. I am most grateful and indebted to the wealth of information these authors have painstakenly gathered to preserve the heritage, culture, beliefs and language of the Oglala Lakota. These are definitely must-read material; I have included publishers' addresses and links (where available) for interested readers. You can also find some of these books in your local public and school (university/college) libraries.
