Publisher's Summary
In the tradition of the Native American storyteller, Jamake Highwater
weaves generations of legends and stories into the haunting legend of
a handsome young brave named Anpao. When Anpao falls in love with the
beautiful Ko-Ko-mik-e-is, she tells him she belongs to the Sun alone.
Before they can marry, Anpao must complete a dangerous journey to the
house of the Sun to get permission to wed his beloved. As a sign of
This journey takes him backwards and forward in time and space, from
the dawn of time to his eerie meeting with the death-horse and its horrific
rider, Smallpox. In translating ancient legends into a modern folktale,
Highwater allows the non-Indian listener rare insights into a Native
American view of history. In presenting the images that are uniquely
Indian, Highwater does not revert to symbols of white culture. He retains
the other-worldly, magical quality of Indian tradition, making Anpao
a uniquely enriching and unforgettable listening experience.
