An epic journey of a half Cheyenne Indian and half White that changed the course of all the Indian Nations and the Attitude of the white man during one of most turbulent and violent times in the American West. Based on actual locations and true events of the times.
White Arrow had only seen the sweat lodge once at the Greasy Grass and was used by the great chiefs but knew of its purification and purpose. White Arrow knew, in order to have his vision, he would need to rid himself from all the inner animosities, racial dislikes, and clear the white man’s ways from his own spirit. He found his site as the sun was setting and using green willow, started setting his sweat lodge that evening. Using the willow, he formed a small, domed enclosure and covered it with the branches from the hööhsétõ (trees).
Marshal Windfield dismounted and grabbed Kick-A-Stick by his gray hair and started beating him around his upper body. Kick-A-Stick, knowing his life was ending, started his death song that was but a whisper, and shortened by a gunshot to his head by the marshal. The entire Cheyenne group fell to their knees, even the badly injured started the wailing death song seeing their elder murdered outright by a United States lawman and all his deputies do nothing to stop the killing.
They arrived in Billings at 1 P.M. and went to their hotel where a large picture of him and his son was hanging in the lobby. They then went to the newspaper office to meet Kent Austin. As White Arrow entered, everyone in the office started applauding and came over to shake hands with their hero. Pricilla was surprised that her father was so well known and thought of. It was a side she had never witnessed and stood very proudly at his side. Introductions were made, and a picture was taken of them standing together. It would appear in Monday’s edition after Pricilla’s recital.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
