In Lakota Hoops, anthropologist Alan Klein looks at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to provide a vivid portrait of how the community uses basketball to assert its tribal identity. He reveals the ways that the game is a filter for traditions, pride, hopes, and tribulations that people experience daily, as well as how it bridges Lakota past, present, and future.
