Pawnee Medicine
Hotchkiss, Bill; Shears, Judith
In the summer of 1820, the Spaniard Antonio Behele and mountain main Termite Joe Hollingback returned to the Pawnee village at the headwaters of the Republican River, where they would meet the powerful warrior Pitalesharo, the son of Knife Chief and blood brother to Antonio Behele. And it was there they would find Little Green Frog of the Comanche, captured by the jealous warrior Hawk Foot -- a woman condemned to die as sacrifice to the Pawnee god Morning Star…

But Pitalesharo would defy a medicine man's power to return the beautiful Little Green Frog to the land of her people. And he would face the vicious wrath of Hawk Foot -- a man bent on stirring hatred among the Pawnee people.

From the farthest reaches of the Shining Mountains to the High Plains of the Comanche, Ptalesharo would pursue a dream that held meaning for all the Pawnee -- one man's journey in search of an undying love…and a lasting peace for all the Indian nations.
