 Book Description
This collection of stories is a mix of historical and contemporary fictions. The historical stories provide a background for the contemporary stories, so that the entire collection becomes a loose chronicle of the Native American experience since the European settlement of North America. A wide range of tribes is represented--Powhatan, Cherokee, Creek, Comanche, Lakota, Navajo, Ute, Keres, Ácoma, Zuni, and an unnamed southern California tribe. Each story highlights some individual s quandary--and often alienation--in negotiating and adapting to a face-to-face encounter with the whites.
