This article reminds me of the life of Charles Eastman ('Ohíye S'a', 1858-1939) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Eastman], a Santee Dakota born in MN the year it became a state.
He graduated from Beloit, Dartmouth, and Boston medical school - then went back to work at the Pine Ridge and Crow rez's. He wrote several very readable books, full of insights, including Indian Boyhood (1902)
