A recently updated, digital version of the 1994 book, Vision Quest: Men, Women, and Sacred Sites of the Sioux Nation by the Rev. Don Doll, SJ, has been republished and is now available through Apple Books. This digital version has enhanced material narrated by Lakota Sioux Elder, Chuck Trimble. It includes sections highlighting the importance of traditional ceremonies, descriptions of locations the Sioux have historically considered sacred and why, along with overviews of the historic disruptions to Native American lands, and much more.
Fr. Doll’s original book was based on interviews with Lakota and Dakota community leaders which he recorded before making their portraits. Many of these recorded interviews can now be heard in this digital version, including a description of the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre as remembered by James Holy Eagle, who was 102 years old at the time he was interviewed. The ibook can be purchased for $9.99 at this link: https://apple.co/305Oisa. Income is deposited into an endowment fund for Native American education.
