Through the eyes of Antoine, grandson of the tribal leader, we see the tribe attempt to overcome their demoralization at the hands of advancing white civilization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Indians respond to the building of a dam by trying to gain the return of a sacred medicine bundle. McNickle's ability to depict psychologically complex characters of both races, such as Bull, the aging leader of the Little Elk, and Rafferty, the Indian Agency Superintendent, results in a convincing story and leads the reader to hope that tragedy can be averted. At the same time, McNickle provides a sensitive portrait of the religious depth and human warmth of Indian culture. But although whites and Indians grow in their understanding of one another, the mistakes of the past compound to bring about the violent final confrontation, envisioned in the dreams of the mysterious Two Sleeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unm Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826311009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.41w x 0.73d","brand":"D'Arcy McNickle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51581031219381,"sku":"9780826311009","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0d6e1f1c-5caa-486c-b105-f864d7b85ee8.jpg?v=1755619291","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wind-from-an-enemy-sky-9780826311009","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
