This book, by W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O’Neal Gear, is another of their historical books about the First Nations people of North America. This book tells the stories of people who lived 7000 years ago. Major climatic change was ushering in a 3500 year drought, A young dreamer and a courageous woman from another tribe united to lead their people to a new destiny. As usual, the authors, who are archaeologists and anthropologists, teach as well as inspire, as they show how people lived during a tumultuous dangerous time. They have the same emotions and thought processes that we have today, so despite their way of life, the decisions made resonate with us still.
