Rick Steber sets this heartrending novel on the Pacific Northwest’s Klamath Indian reservation in 1961 just days before the tribe’s "termination" by the U.S. government—a controversial $43,000 payout to each tribe member in return for the Klamath’s one million acres of land. For the three Pitsua brothers, born and raised on the rez, an end to the daily scenes of alcoholism, violence, and madness seems to be in sight. Creek will take the cash and run toward success in the white man’s world. Chief plans only to buy a new Cadillac and armloads of booze. Pokey, faithful to the Klamath traditions, just might refuse the government payout and stay on his people’s land. The brothers’ separate objectives—and the questionable motives of other tribal members, local merchants, ranchers, bankers, and government officials—send them on a course for deadly collision when the government money arrives. In spare, honest, and picturesque language, Rick Steber has created a timeless! story that will be cherished by readers of Sherman Alexie and Larry McMurtry. Winner of the 2005 Spur Award
