| Summary: | "During the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, a Lakota girl reconnects with her heritage, grapples with clashing views on the conflict, and determines who she wants to be"-- Patsy Antoine and her relatives live on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Her classmates don't even know she is part Lakota. When the tiny town of Wounded Knee is occupied, Patsy's relatives are stuck amid the conflict between American Indian Movement activists and Oglala Lake tribe member, and Federal marshals and FBI agents. As Patsy learns more about her heritage and clashing perspectives on the Wounded Knee occupation, she must grapple with the complexities of the conflict and of being biracial. -- adapted from back cover |
