“It will live as one of the important pieces of literature on the American Indian.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“A rich fusion of myth and reality, both a detailed rendering of Pueblo Indian rituals, ceremonies and beliefs and an account of the Indians' political struggle to get back their ancestral lands.”—Westways
