The story of Native Americans is a hard one and a sad one – it goes without saying. It is very much the story of the Indians of America. It is almost a series of anecdotes and reflections that are not pegged in time but in the impressions of the main characters as they bounce around – thinking of their lives. ![]() It is also a little hard to read, because it doesn’t follow the normal pattern of fiction, with a beginning, a plot and an end. And how hard it was when the war ended and many returned home, changed, to a situation that is as unchanging as the petrified forests of the southwest. Participation in World War II and how that changed people fighting as they were for a government that many certainly did not love and for a country that so many feel they had lost – and rightly, obviously so.
