"Red Hunters and the Animal People" by Charles A. Eastman is a narrative of tales intermingling the lives of Native American wildlife and the Sioux people, written in the early 20th century. This work captures the interconnectedness between the Red men and the animals they regard as brothers, highlighting the spiritual beliefs and customs inherent to their culture. The stories reflect upon the experiences of hunters and their encounters with the animal kingdom, revealing an understanding of nature that is both reverent and practical. The opening of the story introduces Igmutanka, a mother puma, who is depicted on a night filled with tension as she worries for her young while seeking food. We see the intimate connection she has with her cubs and her keen awareness of potential dangers from both humans and other animals. The narrative details Igmutanka's adventurous hunt for a deer and her fierce instinct to protect her family from threats, including a violent encounter with a grizzly bear. This moment is emblematic of the greater themes in the book, where the struggles for survival and personification of animal characters illustrate the struggles between nature and human intrusion, as well as the mother's love and determination.
