The Year the Stars Fell: Lakota Winter Counts at the Smithsonian
Candace S Greene
The widespread Lakota, or Western Sioux, recorded many different events in their winter counts, but all include 'the year the stars fell', the spectacular Leonid meteor shower of 1833-34. This work offers information on the important collection of Lakota winter counts at the Smithsonian, a core resource for the study of Lakota history and culture.
