Cogewea, the Half Blood by Mourning Dove,Sho-pow-tan Pdf
One of the first known novels by a Native American woman, Cogewea (1927) is the story of a half-blood girl caught between the worlds of Anglo ranchers and full-blood reservation Indians; between the craven and false-hearted easterner Alfred Densmore and James LaGrinder, a half-blood cowboy and the best rider on the Flathead; between book learning and the folk wisdom of her full-blood grandmother. The book combines authentic Indian lore with the circumstance and dialogue of a popular romance; in its language, it shows a self-taught writer attempting to come to terms with the rift between formal written style and the comfort-able rhythms and slang of familiar speech.
The year is 1959, in Boise, Idaho. Nine-year-old Hannibal has lost his parents and moves in with his recently widowed grandfather, Pop. Hannibal grows up under the loving guidance of Pop, who subtly imparts life's important lessons: the responsibility that comes with love, the nature of charity respect for all living things, and the dangers in telling a lie. Pop is a humble man whose loving example extends far beyond his small circle. While he has attained no social recognition or position, the ripple effect of his example reaches generations into the future. With simple storytelling and honest sentiment, The Mourning Dove answers the question, "What is the worth of one person?"

When Mikey's sister falls for the hunter's son, the only place serving up peace is Mourning Dove.Publishers Weekly --“It's remarkably well handled — the story of young love, the depth of a parent's grief and depression, and the terrible guilt of having killed a child, all of which comes to a head when the families realize what's going on with Gracie and Evan. The story is well-written, the characters are clearly defined, and the targeted audience will be engaged from page one. It will provide conversation and introspection and, if the reader is a parent, the need to give your child a hug.”

The Mourning Dove Takes Flight by Christine M Gordon Pdf
How do you bridge the gap between the life you remember as a child and a new life that circumstances have thrust upon you? Can the gap between living on one continent and adapting to life on another ever be fully embraced? Young Sammy is uprooted from his home in Zimbabwe and all that he has held dear. Some relationships are made stronger by the move. His aunt Maggie and the African, Morris who was born in the same province of Matabeleland, become his support. New friendships are forged.

The heartfelt story of moving to South Africa and then to the United States--of finding forgiveness and learning to love--is one that many can relate to. Many, like Sammy, Maggie, and Morris, have chosen or been forced to leave the countries of their birth. Both sweet and painful memories carve the path to embracing what has been, while striving forward to create a brighter future.
