Description
Discover the incredible stories of the many Aboriginal cultures that call the plains of North America their home, from Alberta and Saskatchewan in the north to Texas and Oklahoma in the south. Since the time of first contact with Europeans, First Nations of the plains have endured much hardship and tragedy, but their cultures have endured and the old ways show signs of renewal. Author John Friesen traces their history and highlights the wisdom of the Elders, a traditional worldview holding much hope and promise as humankind faces the problems of the 21st century.
