The whole book is lyrical like a long song, both good, bad, happy, sad & insightful. Many things I never heard or knew before about the Pawnee. 5 Stars The Echo Hawk family is one talked of good as they have always been examples. People to emulate in decency, perseverance, traditional ways of their people, activism, the arts & all facets needed to both go ahead & remember & hold onto the past. --Kathleen Robertson
