Book Overview
Between 1872 and 1876, Nate Henderson lost his family, was enslaved and then accepted by the Lakota Sioux, made an unsuccessful attempt to provide the Sioux and its allies with a permanent solution for peace, and fell in love with a woman named Kimemela. He also collected enough gold from the streams of the Black Hills to make him a one of richest men in Houston.A Lakota Wish is the story of the years after those experiences, and specifically what happened when Nate and his wife returned to South Dakota to find his wife's mother and other Lakota friends. Once there, they discovered how brutally harsh life was on an Indian reservation, and they became determined to fulfill the wishes of their loved ones living there, regardless of the extreme perils involved.
