"POIGNANT STRUGGLE, HEARTBREAK, HUMOR, HOPELESSNESS, AND JOY...THIS IS NOT ONLY A WOMAN'S STORY--IT IS THE STORY OF THE DEATH OF A TRIBE. THE BIRTH OF THE MODERN RESERVATION INDIAN, TOLD THROUGH THE EYES OF A FIERCELY INDEPENDENT, INTELLIGENT WOMAN HEALER."

SHAMAN'S DAUGHTER--At twelve, Supaya climbed the mountain and had a vision, not knowing that it was the beginning of the end...that she was the last of her people to be thus blessed.

SHAMAN'S DAUGHTER--Three times a bride, Supaya's men came from three different worlds. But only one man could bring her the happiness she longed for.

SHAMAN'S DAUGHTER--Supaya watched her children abandon their sacred heritage. But she survived, returning to the old ways...seeking the one who could inherit her priceless gift of knowledge.
