Stoddard, William Osborn The Talking Leaves: An Indian Story Reading ease score: 90.8 (5th grade). Very easy to read. E-text prepared by Al Haines "The Talking Leaves: An Indian Story" by William O. Stoddard is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of Native American life and the encroachment of white settlers, it focuses on characters like Ni-ha-be, the daughter of an Apache chief, and her adopted sister Rita, who explore themes of cultural identity and the impact of outside influences on indigenous communities. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Ni-ha-be and Rita as they witness a gathering of Apache warriors while on a ride in the mountains. The excitement builds when they discover “talking leaves” (magazines) left behind by a group of white soldiers, igniting Rita’s curiosity and stirring entrenched feelings regarding their identities. The girls must navigate the complexities of their connection with both the Apache culture and their white origins, which sets the stage for their unfolding adventure amid the tensions between the two worlds. As they present the talking leaves to Ni-ha-be’s father, Many Bears, their discovery hints at larger conflicts and cultural intersections that are central to the narrative.
