"...Set against the background of the American West and the 1877 Nez Perce war, this novel is both the dramatic story of an Indian nation's desperate struggle for survival and a moving, personal story of love and tenderness, of loyalty and courage.
Teeto Hoonod, the protagonist and narrator, is raised in harmony with many of the white settlers in Oregon's Wallowa Valley. As a young orphan he grows up with his older brother, whose courage he would like to emulate, learns from a wise healer how to find his spirit in a vision quest, and later marries Wallims, a woman from another tribe, with whom he fathers a child.
When peace is broken by the settlers' demands for more land, Teeto Hoonod, his family, his brother, and 300 warriors as well as 500 women and children of the Nez Perce nation undertake an incredible journey of over 1,700 miles across the Pacific Northwest in an effort to escape to Canada, fighting many battles along the way against the pursuing U.S. Army...
