Good read. Paints a good picture of the changes a culture can experience in one lifetime. The good, bad, & drastic shifts. Often forced upon a people.

With the art of a practiced storyteller, Ignatia Broker recounts the life of her great-great-grandmother, Night Flying Woman, who was born in the mid-19th century and lived during a chaotic time of enormous change, uprootings, and loss for the Minnesota Ojibway. But this story also tells of her people's great strength and continuity.
