It took me a bit to get used to the style of the story and it starts out a bit slow as we learn about the Only People and their lives/culture, but once Young Hunter set out on his journey, I was hooked. I especially loved his relationship with his dogs!

“Reed looked hard at Young Hunter as she spoke those last words and he felt a shiver go down his spine. He understood. He saw who the fire hunters were and the greatness of their danger to all the people. He saw that they were beings to be pitied and feared. He saw too that his own weak seeing was needed now to help these people of the Village Between the Hills, as well as his own Dawn Land People.”

“The dogs looked up at him and then turned to run back in the direction from which they had come. Young Hunter faced the west and began to make his way quickly down the hill, angling toward the headland where his uncle had taken him four autumns before. As he ran, a part of his divided mind retold him that story of the hunter and his dogs. The rhythm of his grandmother‘s voice speaking the tale blended with the soft beat of his running feet.”

“All of the fear that had edged close to him was gone now. One of the dogs in the lean-to behind him stretched its legs, pressing them against Young Hunter‘s back. He would not think of tomorrow now. He would hold the sweetgrass basket close to his face and smell it; he would enjoy the warmth of his fire, and soon, the taste of his food. It would be enough. For now, it would be enough. Tomorrow he would reach the village of the Salmon People.”

Another challenging text, written in high detail. The Creek were used like a tool by Andrew Jackson to expand the confederacy, clearing out the land while fighting another tribe he called the ‘Red Sticks‘. Thousands of both tribes were slaughtered…this massive death event and violent colonization paved the way for expanded slavery territory, and eventually, the Civil War. Note: the confederacy enslaved both Black and Indigenous people, and⬇️

JenniferEgnor also convinced them to kill each other, therefore furthering the cause of their ‘peculiar institution‘. 3w

My current audiobook. This is the recent winner of the 2024 Cundill History Prize. The language is a little overkill in lifting up the native image and condemning the European one. But the info has been good.
