The accounts of Dr. Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa) — a physician who witnessed the Wounded Knee Massacre — will be discussed today at noon during a Durham Museum seminar in the Sorrell Center, Room 2010.
Jerome Kills Small — an Oglala Lakota from Porcupine, S.D. — will give a living history presentation of Dr. Eastman as part of the museum’s observance of Native American History Month.
Dr. Eastman was a physician for the Indian Bureau at the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1890 when he witnessed the Wounded Knee Massacre and later recounted what he saw and did in his autobiography “From the Deep Woods to Civilization.”
