I finally finished this a few days ago. It was very compelling. It told the story of the early Americans, pre-historic Native Americans. The story was about the conflict of one man wanting power, another wanting to not be forgotten, and finally of young Cha-kweena, a shaman, trying to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and keeping tradition. It is also the story of revenge, the slave woman Sheela who escapes to plot the downfall of the man who enslaved her and of those who also abused her.
Another 5 star educational book about the First Americans by William Sarabande. I could not even imagine what life was like for these first Americans if not for the well written and descriptive stories he has written. He writes so well, It's like I'm there living the horrifying life styles of the tribes.
