About This Book

A historical narrative tracing the fate of an Indigenous people in North America as their traditional life collides with encroaching colonial forces. Vivid, often dramatic scenes portray ritual practices, everyday survival, and violent confrontations on a shifting frontier. Episodes alternate between detailed natural description, intimate character moments, and larger social encounters with traders, trappers, and urban centers. Through these episodes the work examines themes of cultural loss, resilience, and the pressures of migration and change.
