Description

This book grows out of a white Mennonite Lady’s driving curiosity to understand the tale of nationally known Cheyenne Peace Chief Lawrence Hart, whose grandfather used to be born three years after the massacre at the Washita to survivors Afraid of Beavers and Walking Lady. This grandfather would raise his grandson to understand Cheyenne ways and make a choice him as his successor to turn out to be a principal peace chief to the Cheyennes. Meanwhile the creator’s other people, Mennonites and her blood relatives, intertwine with Hart’s other people by arriving in Oklahoma to start schools at the Cheyenne and Arapaho reservation and to settle the Oklahoma plains. “Hart is a treasure. Hinz-Penner presents him shiningly,” observes Robert Warrior (Osage), Edith Kinney Gaylord Presidential Professor, University of Oklahoma.
