A mythological version of the history of North America. Based on hundreds of interviews with Native Americans and using a forceful, poetic language suggestive of another time, this exciting novelistic approach to history brings Native American mythology to life at the same time. As N. Scott Momaday, the Pulitzer prize winning Kiowa poet has said, 'Tunkashila is a book to be read slowly and with deep respect... it is like the wind one hears on the plains, steady, running, full of music.' Tunkashila captures the curiosity of youth and reveals the urgent moral tales of a lost civilization.
