- Eastman, Charles Alexander (Ohiyesa), (1858–1939) (MNopedia)
Famed author and lecturer Charles Eastman (Ohiyesa) was raised in a traditional Dakota manner until age fifteen, when he entered Euro-American culture at his father’s request. He spent the rest of his life moving between Native American and settler-colonist worlds, achieving renown but never financial security.
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
Exodus 20:5 NIV
