Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Northern Lights" by Gilbert Parker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the Far West during two significant periods: the border days before railroads brought civilization and the times that followed, marked by the influence of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. The plot centers around the life of Mitiahwe, a young Blackfoot woman, and her relationship with Dingan, a white man, as they navigate the complexities of love, culture, and the challenges posed by their different backgrounds and the encroaching changes in their world. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Mitiahwe and her mother, Swift Wing, in their lodge. The tension between them hints at an impending change; Mitiahwe is filled with hope for her future with Dingan, while Swift Wing foresees dark days ahead. Breaking Rock, another suitor who covets Mitiahwe, arrives with alarming news that Dingan is planning to leave. As their intertwined fates begin to unravel, the themes of loyalty, love, and the struggles faced by those at the crossroads of different cultures emerge prominently. The opening portion establishes a strong emotional foundation, setting the stage for the conflict and character development that will unfold throughout the narrative.
