Excerpt from Piokee and Her People: A Ranch and Tepee Story
John and Prairie Bowers were to have a wooden wedding at their ranch.
Prairie was preparing the feast, assisted by her willing helper, Sally Spratt.
Piokee's calm dark eyes were bent upon the work of browning almonds in the skillet. She was stirring the nuts with gentle shakes, keeping them on a ceaseless hop above the fire.
Miriam, a charming morsel of humanity, four years old, was seated in her high-chair by the pastry table, joining in the cheerful bustle with supreme delight. Both tiny fists were filled with dough, and spread before her on the table was a wide array of patty-cakes, as yet unbaked - her contribution te the feast.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book invites you into the heartwarming story of Prairie Bowers and her adopted daughter, Piokee, a young woman of Native American heritage raised amidst the bustling life of a Kansas ranch. As Prairie prepares for her "wooden wedding" anniversary celebration, the arrival of Dr. Whistler, a respected figure from Piokee's past, sets the stage for a poignant exploration of family, identity, and the clash between cultures. Set against the backdrop of a nation grappling with its treatment of indigenous peoples, the author delves into the complexities of assimilation and the enduring strength of cultural ties. Piokee's journey, marked by a fateful encounter with her estranged father and the allure of her ancestral heritage, reveals the challenges and triumphs of navigating two worlds. Through vivid descriptions of ranch life, preparations for the wedding feast, and encounters with both eccentric neighbors and figures from Piokee's past, the author paints a rich tapestry of life in the American West during a time of significant transformation. This book delves into themes of belonging, prejudice, and the power of love and acceptance. It offers a compelling look at the often-overlooked experiences of Native Americans in the late 19th century, shedding light on the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring bonds of family. The author's insights into the complexities of cultural identity and the search for belonging resonate deeply, making this a story that will stay with readers long after the last page is turned.
