She set out to teach "the white man's way" to the Sioux. Wholeheartedly, she entered into village activities. She watched the Ghost Dance religion emerge, visited with Sitting Bull shortly before he died, and was at Pine Ridge during the last grim month of 1890. There, she met her future husband, Dr. Charles Eastman, the agency physician, a mixed-blood Sioux. They shared the heart-wrenching task of caring for the survivors of the Wounded Knee massacre.
