Sharon Brunner's "The Warrior's Daughter" emphasizes the connection between the Ojibwe people and the French fur traders as they struggle with the growing population of Americans and other racial groups. Multiple characters narrate the heartwarming story of a couple who fall in love, two people from vastly different cultural backgrounds. The colorful lives of the Ojibwe people and fur traders serve as the backdrop of the story. The migration of the Ojibwe people from northern Canada to the United States was filled with adventure and battles fought between opposing tribes and the Americans. Teh story is based on real characters for the author's distant past -- her great, great, great grandparents. They each led their lives in a honorable manner as a medicine woman and French fur trader. Great strength and leadership prevailed amongst troubling times.
Excerpt
"A long time ago the Creator came to Turtle Island and said to the Red People 'You will be the keepers of Mother Earth. Among you I will give the wisdom about Nature, about the interconnectedness of all things, about balance and about living in harmony. You Red People will see the secrets of Nature. You will live in hardship and the blessing of this is you will stay close to the Creator. The day will come when you will need to share the secrets with other people of earth because they will stray from their spiritual ways. The time to start sharing is today."' -Don Coylis, Mohican Writer and Consultant, American Indian
