Europe 1 Studio SEASON 2023 - 2024 05:00, February 25, 2024

Who is Ernie Lapointe, aka Sun Dancer, great-grandson of the famous Lakota Native American chief Sitting Bull?

Invited to Bob Bellanca's microphone, Claire Barré, novelist and screenwriter, reveals the secrets of her meeting with this extraordinary character.

Ernie Lapointe went through multiple ordeals, notably the Vietnam War, before sinking into alcoholism.

His resilience and his quest for meaning led him to reconnect with his roots, his faith and his ancestral spirituality.

With overwhelming sincerity, he would have invoked the great spirit Wakan Tanka - the Sioux's conception of spiritual force - to help him overcome his inner demons and take control of his life.
