Description
A heartbreaking story of victory, defeat, and of a spiritual search in a profane world, this is the story of Night Bear and his people. It is the tale of the land they cherish and the lives they hold sacred, lived until the enemy can no longer be stopped, and the dead have few left to weep for them.

A story told from several perspectives streamed together of the religion, and wisdom of the plains Indians as their world is being invaded by the Americans. The stories have much wisdom, and teachings to be learned from. An excellent read.
