Reviews
"[Waters's] long and wide experience... has given him an insight to the ways of the Indian, perhaps not exceeded by any other novelist."

"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
"By far the finest novel of American Indian life I have ever read."
-- Saturday Review of Literature
