Woonspe Itakihna, originally published in 1881, offers young readers a glimpse into the lives and customs of the Lakota people. Written from a missionary perspective by Favell Lee Mortimer, the book recounts stories and observations intended to educate and inspire. Though reflective of the attitudes prevalent in the 19th century, the work provides a valuable historical record of interactions between missionaries and Native American communities. This edition preserves the original text, allowing contemporary audiences to engage with a unique perspective on a pivotal period in American history. It serves as a primary source for understanding both the missionary endeavors of the time and the representation of Native American culture in children's literature.
