I like the style, which is 'affected Cherokee.' I also appreciate the focus on cultural practices of Cherokee. The most startling revelation for me: my ancestors were not a group of innocents unstained by western influence.
This was a people in the grips of superstition and paganism. Romantic notions of native americans doesn't fit the evidence. But, as one with native ancestry, I can still say there is much here to be thankful for in my ancestry. The image of God is on display in some touching ways.
