About this title

From Library Journal:

Pueblo Indian, actor, and storyteller Littlebird (Saves the Leader: The Man To Send Rain Clouds) has divided his new book into four parts symbolizing four days of "hunting sacred." Each section also takes place at a different point in the life of a young Pueblo hunter who is both mystical and mythical. His voice and poetry blend with those of his elders and the narrator to form a "song" of sacred oral tradition. Decidedly difficult to categorize in any mainstream genre, the narrative feeds the stereotype of the Native American as noble savage. It is certainly a different version of modern Indian life from that presented in, for example, Sherman Alexie's Reservation Blues and was probably meant to be just that. Still, books of this kind have great appeal in some libraries, and this one should be purchased accordingly, especially where recommended for Native American and Southwest regional collections are strong.
