A native writer from the States. Recounts the convoluted relations between a native group and the families of the settlers over several generations. Not so much a direct native issues exploration as a capturing of the history, the twisted life stories, the feelings and thoughts of the characters on both sides within the small town and neighbouring reserve. A clear weaving of some of the things she perceives as different within native societies and relations - justice, the ironic eye, family and children. Not an idealized us vs. them perspective.
One of the best known Native writers apparently. Find some more.
