The A rctides differed in many particulars froni the other nations of Red Men. According to tribal tradition, they were descended from the sun, Hasihta being their first earthly father. While the migrations of all the other Indian tribes were westward, the journeys of the A rctides had been ever toward the east. To reach the country which they now inhabited, the tribe had found it necessary to cross a great lake, or water, which was shallow, narrow, and full of rocky islands. But far worse than the voyage across the water were the terrible fields of snow and ice which they were compelled to encounter, and being little accustomed to even the slightest cold, the A rctides were unutterably wretched until they left the frozen region far behind them.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, drawn from a folktale passed down through generations, tells the story of the Arctides, an advanced yet beleaguered Native American tribe haunted by a terrible prophecy that foretells their destruction by the evil bird-monster, Piasau. When a young child is born to the tribe's chief prophet, Minno, and named Waupello, the people believe he is the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy and destined to save his people. Throughout his younger life, however, Waupello shows no signs of his supposed destiny, frustrating the tribe who had pinned its hope on him. Yet as Waupello grows into manhood, he discovers within himself a connection to nature and greater power than he could have imagined. Blending magical realism with themes of the connection to nature, the power of prophecy and the importance of hope, the author weaves a captivating and timeless adventure that will resonate with a wide range of readers.
