About this title

Synopsis

Orion Ruhane, a Jesuit professor at Regis College in Denver, was surprised by a statement made by a lecturer one night in Albuquerque: "I have never met an Indian who was a real Christian." In response, Orion relays the story of his mother, Emily Rising Moon. With captivating prose, William Barnaby Faherty, S.J., tells the life stories of Emily Rising Moon and her grandson Orion Ruhane, descendents of the "True People," or as the French called Potawatomi, the People of the Fire. Daughter of Rising Moon describes the Christian faith among Native American, along with the importance of maintaining cultural traditions such as art and storytelling.
