The Great Sioux Nation: Sitting in Judgment on America is a book edited by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, "An Oral History of the Sioux Nation and Its Struggle for Sovereignty", that documents the 1974 "Lincoln Treaty Hearing".

Testimony produced during that hearing has been cited by the International Indian Treaty Council in advocating for Indigenous sovereignty and treaty rights, efforts which eventually saw the 2007 Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

The court heard approximately 65 people during thirteen days and produced almost 3,000 pages of testimony.

Among the activists and scholars who participated were Simon J. Ortiz, Vine Deloria, Jr., Alvin M. Josephy, Jr., Leonard Crow Dog, Russell Means, William S. Laughlin, Raymond J. DeMallie, Beatrice Medicine, Gladys Bissonette, Dennis Banks, and Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz.

A new edition in 2013 by the University of Nebraska Press contains a new foreword by Philip J. Deloria and a new introduction by Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz.

I never had given it a thought that someday this would happen here again and my son was going to be next, lying in the Wounded Knee Cemetery.

Later on he said, "Things are getting tough, I see, so if I get killed, I don't want to bother my people so just bury me in the bunker.
