Charles Eastman, whose Sioux name was Ohiyesa (pronounced Oh hee' yay suh), was a Native American author, doctor and reformer who also helped to establish the Boy Scouts of America. Old Indian Days is a collection of traditional stories from Eastman's Native American heritage.

Raised as a Santee Sioux in the 1860s and 1870s, Charles A.

Ohiyesa, a Native American, writing under the name Charles Eastman, collected tales of his brothers and forefathers as they hunted for food, and told tales of contact with different animals. In this collection, there is expressed a feeling of camaraderie between the author and the subjects of the tales, a kinship between man and the animal world, which is not expressed elsewhere.

Ideal for young readers and students of Native American legends, this rich collection of 27 Sioux folk tales is treasure trove of wisdom about Native American culture. These tales encompass creation myths, animal fables reminiscent of Aesop, beautiful princesses and wicked witches—all firmly grounded in the world and culture of the Plains Indians.

Originally published in 1907, Old Indian Days contains Eastman's recollections of life among the Sioux. Studies of daily life, struggle, war, and peace, including the 1862 Sioux Uprising, make up the majority of this collection, as well as retellings of such classic Native American myths and legends as "The Singing Spirit" and "The Love of Antelope."
