Description:

"In this story of the tribe before white contact there are many rewards and also lessons that may be even more important today than they were 300 years ago." —Coeur d’Alene Press

A family struggles to hold onto what is precious and sacred. Steeped in traditional culture and harmony with the natural world, this is the inspirational story of several generations of a band of the Schi’tsu’umsh Indians who lived in a vast region that became eastern Washington, northern Idaho, and western Montana. The band’s rich oral history from the early 1700s is seen through the eyes of a boy named Sun Bear and his sister, Rainbow Girl, whose family struggles to find peace and hold onto what is precious and sacred.
