The blood feud between two rival warriors over the love of Ashagi, a strong-willed woman of great beauty and greater determination threads through this story of one Ojibwe clan on the cusp of great change. A young woman from a peaceful village, Ashagi (Blue Heron) is abducted in a raid conducted by the Sioux, the ancestral enemies of her clan, and made a concubine of a fat, slovenly chief who already has two wives. When she is rescued by Misko (Red Bear), an Ojibwe youth, the two fall in love and a lifelong bond is formed. But Nika, Misko's rival, demands that Misko surrender Ashagi to replace his brother who was killed during a raid involving the young warriors' two clans. As Nika's pride and obsession with Ashagi eats away at his sanity, greater danger for the whole Ojibwe way of life creeps ever closer. Warfare, vengeance, supernatural monsters, and strange spirits all claw at the edges of this love triangle, but the power of the clan and the love of family and tradition helps sustain a culture on the verge of harrowing times. 650 0 $a Ojibwa Indians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Great Lakes (North America) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006115649.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0ABAA218C93111E88539171297128E48 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
