About this product

Product Information

Richard Moves Camp's My Grandfather's Altar is an oral-literary narrative account of five generations of Lakota religious tradition. Moves Camp is the great-great-grandson of Wóptu'a ("Chips"), the holy man remembered for providing Crazy Horse with war medicines of power and protection. The Lakota remember the descendants of Wóptu'a for their roles in preserving Lakota ceremonial traditions during the official prohibition period (1883-1934), when the U.S. Indian Religious Crimes Code outlawed Indian religious ceremonies with the threat of imprisonment. Wóptu'a, his two sons, James Moves Camp and Charles Horn Chips, his grandson Sam Moves Camp, and his great-great-grandson Richard Moves Camp all became well-respected Lakota spiritual leaders. My Grandfather's Altar offers the rare opportunity to learn firsthand how one family's descendants played a pivotal role in revitalizing Lakota religion in the twentieth century.

Reviews
" My Grandfather's Altar is a revelation of intergenerational Indigenous survival in the face of omnicide. . . . More than an autobiography, this is the story of the olówao wichása , or spiritual code, of generations of Lakota people immersed in lifeway knowledge who transmitted that knowledge even when it was outlawed by the U.S. government. . . . This book has the power to resonate and linger with you just like that."--Christopher J. Pexa (Mní Wakháo Oyáte, Spirit Lake Dakota Nation), author of Translated Nation: Rewriting the Dakhóta Oyáte, "This is a remarkable, honest, and heart-centered book. In everyday language, Richard Moves Camp narrates the oral traditions of the distinguished Chips family, a history of suffering, spiritual accomplishments, miraculous events, and successful healings. The context is colonialism, and the consequence is a multigenerational struggle to maintain sacred authenticity and living connections to the spirit worlds. It is an honor to read such a book, a rare treasure, revealing the deep truths of Lakota spirituality."--Lee Irwin, author of The Dream Seekers: Native American Visionary Traditions of the Great Plains, "A profound recollection and a generous sharing of the experiences of holiness and power, humility and obligation, history and memory: a new classic in a long tradition of Lakota accounts of Lakota life."--Philip J. Deloria, author of Becoming Mary Sully: Toward an American Indian Abstract, "Richard Moves Camp provides a rich, powerful narrative based on his family's experiences. This book gives us an intimate window into Lakóta spirituality and way of life. This is a Lakóta story told in a uniquely Lakóta way by those who experienced it firsthand. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Lakóta past and present."--Rani-Henrik Andersson, author of The Lakota Ghost Dance of 1890 and coauthor of Lakóta: An Indigenous History, "If you want to know more about American Indians, read this book. It presents us with a deeply authentic voice of a traditional Lakota elder and spiritual leader; it is a narrative that displays the American Indian worldview in all its depth and complexity. . . . Richard Moves Camp's story will be read for generations to come as a wonderful tool for holding onto important cultural truths."--Tink Tinker (Osage Nation [wazhazhe]), professor emeritus of American Indian Studies at Iliff School of Theology, "Not since Luther Standing Bear has Lakota spirituality been portrayed with such sincerity. . . . Richard Moves Camp's My Grandfather's Altar evokes the everyday relevance of Lakota beliefs and values with true-to-life detail. In recounting his grandfather's story and legacy through family history, Moves Camp shows the reader a Lakota way of doing things, a wouncage , that is as meaningful today as it was during the time of Crazy Horse."--David Martínez, author of Life of the Indigenous Mind: Vine Deloria Jr. and the Birth of the Red Power Movement, "An excellent contribution to the literature on Lakota spirituality and worldview. Moves Camp tells his family's story of well-regarded spiritual leaders from a grounded and insightful perspective. Most beautifully, he provides a compelling teaching about the importance of spirituality being linked to a way of life, an insight that provides us a healthy pathway for the future. . . . The whole volume resonates with truth and wisdom."--Waziyatawin, author of Remember This! Dakota Decolonization and the Eli Taylor Narratives, "Richard Moves Camp provides a rich, powerful narrative based on his family's experiences. This book gives us an intimate window into Lakóta spirituality and way of life. This is a Lakóta story told in a uniquely Lakóta way by those who experienced it firsthand. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Lakóta past and present."--Rani-Henrik Andersson, author of The Lakota Ghost Dance of 1890, "Richard Moves Camp's story is unique, significant, and moving. It is an important contribution to both the living oral tradition of the Lakota people and the scholarly canon. My Grandfather's Altar is an engrossing read. . . . I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Lakota culture, history, and ceremonial traditions."--David C. Posthumus, author of All My Relatives: Exploring Lakota Ontology, Belief, and Ritual and coauthor of Lakóta: An Indigenous History, "An authentic and indelible biography filled with life lessons and loving tributes to those who taught and defined Richard Moves Camp, notably his powerful medicine men ancestors. . . . My Grandfather's Altar is an engaging and remarkable gift for the next generations."--Devon Mihesuah, Oklahoma Choctaw and editor of Henry Mihesuah's First to Fight, "An authentic and indelible biography filled with life lessons and loving tributes to those who taught and defined Richard Moves Camp, notably his powerful medicine men ancestors. . . . My Grandfather's Altar is an engaging and remarkable gift for the next generations."--Devon Mihesuah, Oklahoma Choctaw and author of "First to Fight": The Story of Henry Mihesuah, "If you want to know more about American Indians, read this book. It presents us with a deeply authentic voice of a traditional Lakota elder and spiritual leader; it is a narrative that displays the American Indian worldview in all its depth and complexity. . . . Richard Moves Camp's story will be read for generations to come as a wonderful tool for holding onto important cultural truths."--Tink Tinker, professor emeritus of American Indian cultures and traditions at Iliff School of Theology, " My Grandfather's Altar provides a return to the spirituality of Lakota people in order for healing to occur for the current and future generations. . . . This book provides a contemporary perspective and contributes greatly to the spiritual or religious life of contemporary Lakota and non-Lakota people."--Delphine Red Shirt, author of Turtle Lung Woman's Granddaughter
