About This Book
Set among a cliff-dwelling people on a high desert tableland, the narrative follows a silversmith’s daughter who marries a supernatural visitor and gives birth to twin sons. Raised by their mother and village elders, the boys learn hunting, ritual songs, and the crafts of their people, take part in the buffalo dance as calves, and undergo trials and encounters that reveal gifts from the otherworld and teach traditional lore and healing songs. The tale blends origin myth, ritual life, and lessons about kinship and skill.
