Official synopsis Publisher
An Indian Legacy: Every few years a novel depicting the agonies of being red in a sea of white faces must be written. An Indian Legacy is just such a novel. The legacy consists of a tomahawk, a peace pipe, banded eagle feathers, and some small human bones. The legacy was inherited years ago by Grant Someset, but remained tucked away, almost forgotten.
After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, the legacy and Grant’s red roots not only shape his future, but shape the destinies of a mighty nation and a once mighty people. Each element of the legacy acts as a hook that takes the reader on a fantastic journey, from Northern Virginia, to New Mexico, to a sandy knoll on the giant Navajo Indian Reservation. During the journey, a U.S. Senator is murdered, the only suspect mysteriously escapes, five-hundred thousand Native Americans unite, and two white men violently die defending the red man. A final face-off between Washington and a determined Indian population test the courage of the American Indian and the integrity of Washington. The face-off could result in nothing less than a Presidential apology or yet another humiliating disgrace for the American Indian.
