Guardianship has been passed from father to son for over 300 years. Theses artifacts belonged to Kanegwa'ti, a medicine man who controlled the power of Uktena (an evil spirit) in order to protect the tribe. Even the four guardians cannot reveal what they guard. The tradition of secrecy was set up by Kanegwa'ti to prevent anyone from awakening Uktena and bringing destruction. Grady Smoker, one of the Snake Dancers, has spent decades tracking the other guardians in order to pinpoint the location of each artifact. In a misplaced effort to regain power for the tribe, he unwittingly becomes the vessel for Uktena. 650 0 $a Cherokee Indians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secret societies $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Smoky Mountains (N.C. and Tenn.) $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806023051.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB1F2F166B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
