Description

---

An unusual and magical story based on the historic "Long Walk" of the Navajo. With his tribe decimated, his parents murdered, one boy manages to escape from the forced migration to Fort Sumner. With his shaman grandfather, the two seek the powerful coyote beads belonging to the tribe. If they can find them, they can balance the opposing energies of peace and war, and save Dineh, the people. This novel, based on many interviews does not describe the forced march of 350 miles. Instead it tells the untold story of those resistant Navajos who stayed behind on their own land and fought for what was theirs.
