By sharing his experiences growing up, he aims to illustrate the simplicity and beauty of Indian childhood, juxtaposed against the harsh realities experienced by his people. The opening of the book introduces readers to Eastman's own early experiences as a member of the Sioux tribe, focusing on his time spent under the care of his grandmother. He recounts vivid memories of his infancy, highlighting cultural practices such as naming ceremonies and childhood games while also referencing the struggles his people faced during the tumultuous periods of American expansion.
