They Never Surrendered: The Lakota Sioux Band That Stayed In Canada

A well-told account of a little-known band of Lakota Sioux that resisted return to U.S. reservations. They chose the freedom of the Canadian prairies and some continued to live by hunting and gathering well into the 20th century. --Robert M. Utley, Historian

I would like everyone to know that this book has won an IPPY (Independent Publisher) Bronze Medal Award for 2008. --Ron Papandrea

They Never Surrendered chronicles the long-missing history of the Lakota who stayed in Canada after Sitting Bull yielded in 1881. Herein, Ron Papandrea presents new data about these people that is compelling and comprehensive. This book is an important contribution to our knowledge of the Sioux and the aftermath of the Great Sioux War. --Jerome A. Greene, Historian

5Wood Mountain Lakota  Jun 28, 2008
They Never Surrendered: The Lakota Sioux Band That Stayed In CanadaA very well researched and presented history of the "Wood Mountain Lakota" who remained in Canada after the surrender of Sitting Bull in 1881.
This book is full of endnotes, appendices, maps and photos, and is a must for anyone interested in the Sioux in Canada.
Well worth the money!

5Quote From Cheyenne River Lakota Nation  May 23, 2008
Here is a quote from a Lakota Sioux living at the Cheyenne River reservation in South Dakota:

"I have read "They Never Surrendered" by Ron Papandrea. His research on the Lakota who won the Battle of the Little Big Horn, and escaped the army by crossing the Medicine Line into Canada, is a valuable work for anyone interested in learning about my people. It covers a little known part of Lakota, American and Canadian history. As a person who is a descendant of these Lakota men and women, I consider this book an important record."

5The Lost Band of Lakota Sioux  May 02, 2008
This book clears up the mystery of what happened to the Lakota Sioux who escaped to Canada with Sitting Bull, but never returned to the United States. This is the lost band of Lakota Sioux. Their exact number is calculated. In fact, the whole book is well documented with over 200 endnotes throughout the work. Also, new information about Wounded Knee and the two famous Lakota Chiefs named "Black Moon". The author has taken the time to go up to Canada and get to know the people he writes about. Well done!

5Independent Publisher Bronze Medal Winner (IPPY Award)  Nov 04, 2007
I am the author of this book. I would like everyone to know that this book has been awarded a bronze medal by Indpendent Publisher Magagzine (IPPY Award). As an independent author who has struggled to have this book recognized, this is a very gratifying honor. If anyone buys this book and is not satisfied with it, I will refund their money, including shipping costs. Just email me at: ronpapandrea@gmail.com
