Product Details


Product Description

From Library Journal

As archaeologists, this best-selling writing team (e.g., People of the Sea, LJ 10/ 15/93) know a thing or two about early civilizations. Here, a young woman must dispose of an evil totemic mask in order to free her people.

Product Description

Thousands of years ago, small hunting bands crossed the fragile land bridge linking the Eurasian continent to the Americas and discovered a land untouched by humankind. Over the centuries that followed, their descendents spread throughout this land. Bestselling authors and award-winning archaeologists W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O’Neal Gear bring the stories of these first North Americans to life in this magnificent, multi-volume saga. The discovery of Kennewick Man—a male Caucasoid mummy dating back 9,600 years—on the banks of the Columbia River sparked one of the most controversial archaeological debates of the century. What was a white man doing in North America 9,600 years ago? Award-winning archaeologists Michael and Kathleen Gear spin a captivating tale that imagines what might have been: As the glaciers melted, mammoths, mastodons, and giant lions had gone extinct. Rain Bear, the chief of Sandy Point Village, knew his struggling Raven People could be next….

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and Moving, Jan 2 2001
By Lissa (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
I have read many of the "People of" books, and this is so far, my favorite. The book follows Otter, a trader, Black Skull, a Warrior, Green Spider, a spiritual man, Pearl, a runaway and Star Shell, the beautiful daughter of a cheif, as they quest in pursuit of a the Many-Colored Crow's mask. The book is filled with beautiful descriptions, and fabulous dialogue. I started the book on a plane, and didn't want to put it down. I like to try and guess what's going to happen in a story, and in this case, the story line kept me guessing right up until the very end. And, most importantly, this book was very historically accurate. This is a great read, especially for those people who are interested in Native American cultures.

5.0 out of 5 stars A strange boat crew makes for great entertainment., Oct 9 2000
By A. Tresca - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The longest novel of the series so far, this one is undoubtedly my favorite. Set in the pre-historic Great Lakes region, the story follows the Trader, Otter, and his strange crew of a woman fleeing her past, a warrior with a secret, and a holy man known as a Contrary. A spiritual leader like a Dreamer, the Contrary sees the world with such clarity that he does everything backwards. Often frustrating to the people around him, the Contrary makes for some raucous humor as the quartet make their way through the Great Lakes. Traveling through strange lands, they encounter peoples and places that they had only heard about in legends and myths. At the end of their often dangerous and ever entertaining journey they must all confront their destinies.
