About this product

Product Information

A note is left on a car windshield, an old dog dies, and Kent Nerburn finds himself back on the Lakota reservation where he traveled more than a decade before with a tribal elder named Dan. The touching, funny, and haunting journey that ensues goes deep into reservation boarding-school mysteries, the dark confines of sweat lodges, and isolated Native homesteads far back in the Dakota hills in search of ghosts that have haunted Dan since childhood. In this fictionalized account of actual events, Nerburn brings the land of the northern High Plains alive and reveals the Native American way of teaching and learning with a depth that few outsiders have ever captured.

Exactly as described except the first 50 pages had been torn out. Good price if it had been a complete book. Prompt shipping. Seller promptly and without hesitation or having to return the book, refunded me in full. I will (and have) used again.

  • Incredible reading!

    The sequel to Neither Wolf nor Dog, prequel to Woman who Sings with Buffalo. The heart wrenching tales of our Native Americans lives and history of suffering, told by an amazing writer. I'm 3/4 through #3!! Truly a teaching guides as to what happened, not as told in school books.. Learn the difference between feeling guilty and taking responsibility! Highly recommended!
