A richly detailed work of biography and Native American history, Dance Around the Sun: The Life of Mary Little Bear Inkanish: Cheyenne chronicles the remarkable life of Mary Little Bear Inkanish, a Southern Cheyenne woman whose story spans a period of profound cultural upheaval in the American West. Written with warmth and deep respect, the narrative illustrates how Inkanish navigated the collision of traditional Cheyenne life with the sweeping forces of assimilation, government policy, and modernity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The authors present her not merely as a historical subject but as a vibrant, resilient individual whose artistry, spirituality, and community ties remained central to her identity throughout her life. Drawing on firsthand accounts and ethnographic expertise, the work offers an intimate and humanizing portrait that honors Indigenous experience with both scholarly integrity and genuine storytelling grace.
