Mona Susan Power is an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe whose fiction draws on the experiences and spiritual traditions of the Lakota people. Her debut novel, The Grass Dancer (1994), won the PEN/Hemingway Award and announced a distinctive literary voice. The novel weaves together the stories of several generations of a Lakota community in North Dakota, blending realism with elements drawn from Lakota spiritual belief.

After a long gap, Power returned with A Council of Dolls (2024), which spans three generations of Native women from the 1880s boarding school era to the present. Her small output reflects careful, deliberate work rather than rapid production, and both novels have been recognized for their lyrical prose and authentic portrayal of Native American life.
