| Summary | "The Indian To-day: The Past and Future of the First American" by Charles A. Eastman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the contemporary status and future prospects of Native Americans, particularly focusing on the Sioux perspective, as presented by the author, who shares both his personal experiences and broader insights into Native American culture and challenges. At the start of the text, Eastman emphasizes the duality of the Indian identity in modern America, portraying them as both a "vanishing race" and a "thoroughly progressive one." He reflects on the natural qualities of the Native Americans, including their democratic ideals and spiritual philosophies, as well as the significant transformations they have undergone due to contact with white settlers and the consequent loss of their rights and freedoms. The opening sections lay the groundwork for addressing the complexities of intertribal warfare, their struggles with materialism, and the unique challenges they face while attempting to adapt to a changing landscape, setting the stage for a deeper analysis of cultural identity and survival in the face of adversity.
