This historical fiction novel is inspired by real people and events that were shaped by the land, animals, and plants of the Central Plains and by the long sweep of Indigenous history in the grasslands. Major events are presented from a Pawnee perspective to capture the outlook of the Echo-Hawk ancestors. The oral tradition from ten generations of Echo-Hawk's family tell the stories of the spiritual side of Native life, and give voice to the rich culture and cosmology of the Pawnee Nation.

Reviews for The Sea of Grass: A Family Tale from the American Heartland

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
