The Girl Who Sang To The Buffalo: A Child, an Elder, and the Light from a Ancient Sky

"The sun was going down in a blaze of orange by the time we set out for Odell’s. It outlined the distant hills in the color of fire, then slowly spent itself as we proceeded down the lonely reservation highway. By the time we had been on the road for half an hour , the first tiny diamonds of starlight were beginning to pierce the twilight sky."
