Quote:
"Honey Moccasin imagines a contemporary reserve where someone has stolen every dance outfit, feather, shawl, and piece of decorative beadwork in the entire community. [...] Who would do this, and why? And how would people respond to such a theft? In [Shelley] Niro's world, they are challenged to find new ways to define what it means to be Indian, and they respond with daring and imagination and creativity."
