Abstract:
Jacquie Red Feather, newly sober, came to the Big Oakland Powwow to make it back to the family she left behind in shame. Dene Oxedrene is pulling his life together after his uncle's death and came to honor his uncle's memory. Edwin Frank came to find his true father. Bobby Big Medicine came to drum the Grand Entry. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield came to watch her nephew Orvil Red Feather; Orvil has taught himself Indian dance through YouTube videos, and will dance in public for the very first time. Tony Loneman is a young Native American boy whose future seems destined to be as bleak as his past, and he has come to the Powwow with darker intentions-- intentions that will destroy the lives of everyone in his path. -- adapted from back cover
