About this listen

A note is left on a car windshield, an old dog dies, and Kent Nerburn finds himself back on the Lakota reservation where he traveled more than a decade before with a tribal elder named Dan. The touching, funny, and haunting journey that ensues goes deep into reservation boarding-school mysteries, the dark confines of sweat lodges, and isolated Native homesteads far back in the Dakota hills in search of ghosts that have haunted Dan since childhood.

In this fictionalized account of actual events, Nerburn brings the land of the northern High Plains alive and reveals the Native American way of teaching and learning with a depth that few outsiders have ever captured.

I only discovered Kent Nerburn’s previous book ‘Neither Wolf Nor Dog’ after hearing Robert Plant recommend it during an interview, saying it was the most important book he had ever read. This book is just as brilliant. Everyone should listen to this. The narrator is superb - had me gripped right to the end. This is one of those books that I will never forget

At times like a conversation Kent draws you into the continuation of Dan’s story as well as providing the reader with a true insight into the reality of the life of the Native American people after the removal of them from their homelands.
