The work of more than forty authors appears in this volume, representing tribes and regions extending over most of the U.S. and parts of Canada.

Book Description:

Release Date: August 1, 1995

On a Sioux reservation in North Dakota potent forces converge today, asthey have for centuries.Ancestral ghosts make their presence known among the living. Dreams inspire journeys, both literal and physical.The dying are summoned to a councilfire "five steps beyond the edge of the universe."And, through it all, good medicine andbad magic nudge the intricate twists of fate.
Such is the setting for Susan Power's debut novel, The Grass Dancer, itselfa remarkable journey through many times and many realms.Power, an enrolled memberof the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, has created a spellbinding collection of interwoventales that not only illuminate the hearts, minds, and spirits of an unforgettable cast ofcharacters but also offer startling insights into the use and abuse of power.
In the first contemporary scene of The Grass Dancer a young man's life isstruck by tragedy for the second time.Harley Wind Soldier, whose father and olderbrother were killed in a car accident four weeks before his birth, meets Pumpkin, anunusual and irresistible young woman, at an inter-tribal powwow.After astonishing thecrowd with her command of the ritual "grass dance," Pumpkin spends the night withHarley, and both discover she is the one who can light the empty corners of his soul.Butthe next day, Pumpkin is killed in a car crash.An accident perhaps, or the work ofMercury Thunder - the reservation witch whose granddaughter, Charlene, has also set hersights on Harley.
As the novel unfolds, we learn more of the complex, intertwined histories thatultimately brought this scenario into being.We learn of Harley's family secret and of thetrue reason his mother, Lydia, relinquished her power of speech when she was widowed. We learn of Charlene's bondage to--and ultimate liberation from--a grandmother whoeveryone on the reservation rightfully fears.And we learn what awful circumstance couldbring a woman such as Mercury Thunder to manipulate her tremendous gift of power forevil ends.
Along the way we encounter many others whose individual stories are threads in thislarger tapestry.Jeannette McVay is a teacher at the Indian school who came to studyIndian "superstition" and finds herself inextricably bound to the reservation as if by apreternatural tie.Red Dress and Ghost Horse are two formidable spirits whose influenceextends across boundaries of death. Harley's grandmother, Margaret Many Wounds, stopson her way to the ancestral council fire to frolic on the moon with the Apollo astronauts.
The Grass Dancer is a cornucopia of legends and legacies, secrets andsurprises.As one layer of its tale is peeled away, another is revealed, until we are leftwith a core of understanding of the hopes, dreams, values, and attitudes that informpeople and a culture across the generations. Power is a storyteller whose narratives are sovivid that readers are, time and again, shocked when they realize what they have been toldis a fictional tale.

Turn the Stars Upside Down: The Last Days and Tragic Death of Crazy Horse (Plainsmen): Terry C. John

Book Description:

Release Date: June 25, 2013 | Series: Plainsmen (Book 16)

For more than a decade one man struck fear in the hearts of U.S. soldiers on the frontier: Crazy horse, the great Oglala Sioux leader, who destroyed Custer at Little Big Horn, fought Crook toe-to-toe at the Rosebud, and outwitted and outran the Cavalry across the windswept plains where as a child he had played. Now, on a cloudless day in May, the legendary warrior rode toward the soldiers who had been his enemy for so long. In 1877, Crazy horse surrendered to a young lieutenant, and tale of betrayal and murder began.
In this powerful, moving account of the last days of Crazy Horse, Terry C. Johnson weaves a saga of warriors, lovers, peacemakers, traitors, war, and suffering among the innocents on both sides. Most of all, this is the story of one man--a mystic, a fighter, a father and husband--whose last journey was as fateful and dramatic as a life lived without surrender.

On the Trail of Elder Brother: Glous'gap Stories of the Micmac Indians: Patricia Clark Smith,Mic

Book Description:

Publication Date: March 30, 2003

Native American tales about Glous'gap, an Algonquin hero, presented for the first time in a comprehensive cycle, retold and illustrated by Native authors.

Stories of Glous'gap, the embodiment of the Great Spirit, are told by the many Algonquin tribes of North America--from the Dakotas through New England, and south to Delaware. Among them is the Micmac of Maine, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces. Since the seventeenth century, anthropologists have listened to Micmac storytellers and recorded their tales. Finally, here is a book devoted entirely to Glous'gap's adventures, told to us firsthand in the traditional Micmac versions by two Micmac authors.
On the Trail of Elder Brother follows Glous'gap during the time he lived among the Micmac. When he arrives, the earth is barely formed. Glous'gap helps to shape it and populate it with creatures and plants. He teaches his people the right way to live, and how to live together harmoniously in the natural world. He battles the monsters who threaten them--a water-hoarding monster, a fearsome lake serpent, a giant bird of prey, and an evil sorceress, among them. By the time he leaves, the world has become a more settled place.
With their pipe-smoking whales, irascible porcupines, witches, and the like, these stories are wondrous and magical. But they are also wise, immersed in what it means to be fully human in a fragile world. The sixteen accompanying pen-and-ink drawings enhance their appeal. Every reader, from the uninitiated to the specialist, will fall under the spell of this powerful, joy-filled volume. 16 pen-and-ink drawings
