Description: Step into a world of resilience and tradition with this captivating narrative. Through the eyes of Waheenee, a young Hidatsa girl, we witness life in an earth lodge village along the Missouri River in the aftermath of the devastating smallpox epidemic. Waheenee's story unfolds against the backdrop of a changing world, where the Hidatsa people grapple with the devastating effects of disease and conflict with neighboring tribes. The author paints a vivid picture of daily life, from the warmth and intimacy of the earth lodge to the challenges of clearing fields and hunting for food. This book delves into themes of family, community, and the deep connection to the natural world that defines Hidatsa culture. We see Waheenee learn and grow, surrounded by the love and wisdom of her mothers, grandmother, and the wider village. Ultimately, Waheenee's journey offers a powerful testament to the enduring spirit of the Hidatsa people and the importance of honoring tradition in the face of adversity.
