Product Description
This moving Native American historical novel tells the story of four generations of a Nakota (Assiniboine) family of the northern Great Plains. Set in the period 1780-1840, the story reflects the joys and sorrows of Native life in the heyday of the horse culture of the plains. With a deep respect for the earth, sky, and four winds, the Nakota people lived in close harmony with the ever-migrating herds of buffalo, ranging back and forth across what is today the Canadian/United States border near the Sweet Grass Hills of Montana. All would change as the dreaded smallpox struck, after first contact with Euro-American soldiers and traders in the late 18th century. Reflecting the vast beauty of the prairie, the novel is based on a combination of personal memories, historical research, and stories handed down from the author's grandmother. With its descriptions of close-knit, loving families, this is a deeping touching story.
