Eastman is a memoir exploring the author’s childhood experiences as a Dakota Sioux boy, likely written in the early 20th century. The book delves into Eastman's early life, cultural traditions, and the upbringing he received from his family, particularly from his grandmother, in a society that is in a constant struggle with the encroachment of Western civilization. The opening of the memoir provides a vivid and personal account of Eastman's infancy and early childhood, establishing the backdrop of his upbringing in a Sioux community. He introduces himself through the name "Hakadah," meaning "the pitiful last," given to him after the death of his mother. The narrative features the love and care he received from his grandmother, who played a substantial role in his education and cultural transmission. It also describes elements of Sioux life, including hunting, games, and the strong connections to nature that were integral parts of his formative experiences. As Eastman recounts these formative events and lessons from his early years, he highlights the values instilled in him, such as bravery, observation skills, and respect for nature and family traditions, effectively setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his identity and heritage throughout the memoir.
