"The author has spent many years in research and many moons talking with our people. Now he reveals and shares his discoveries with all of us.

In some cases I found his findings explosive—in revealing facts and stories of yesteryear." Patricia Laughing Eyes Holcomb, National President, TheWhite Buffalo Society, Inc.
