Terpning biographer Elmer Kelton wrote, “The woman’s place in Plains Indian culture included most of the drudgery involved in setting up camp, the skinning, tanning, putting up of meat, cooking, water-carrying, wood-gathering, sewing, housekeeping, and, of course, childbearing and rearing. Yet as homemaker, wife, and mother, she was an indispensable part of tribal life.
“Though her life in retrospect may seem mundane, Charles Alexander Eastman, Sioux physician-historian, declared, ‘It has been said that the position of woman is the test of civilization, and that of our women was secure. In them was vested our standard of morals and the purity of our blood. The wife did not take the name of her husband nor enter his clan, and the children belonged to the clan of the mother. All of the family property was held by her, descent was traced in the maternal line, and the honor of the house was in her hands.’”
