Book Review

Hostiles? The Lakota Ghost Dance and Buffalo Bill's Wild West. Sam A. Maddra. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2006. xi + 277 pp. Illustrations, map, appendix, notes, bibliography, index. $24.95.)

In telling the story of the twenty-three Lakota Ghost Dancers who accompanied Buffalo Bill's 1891–1892 tour of Great Britain, Sam Maddra simultaneously engages a broad literature concerning the nature of the Lakota Ghost Dance, the experience of "Show Indians," and the complex reaction of Native peoples to the federal government's assimilation program. As a result, Hostiles? is an ambitious book that sometimes is spread too thin.
