Produced by Greg Weeks, Stephen Blundell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Shaman" by Robert Shea is a novel written in the early 1990s. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of early 19th-century America, focusing on the struggles between Native American tribes and European settlers. The story primarily follows Gray Cloud, a young half-Sauk boy on a vision quest to become a shaman, as well as the complexities of his cultural identity amidst the tensions between two worlds. At the start of the novel, Gray Cloud, clad in a bearskin, faces the daunting task of seeking a vision in a sacred cave during the bitter winter of 1825. The chapters delve into his fears and aspirations as he navigates the sacred spaces and the spirits that inhabit them, including a powerful encounter with the White Bear spirit. Meanwhile, Redbird, a girl who loves Gray Cloud, anxiously waits for his return, grappling with her emotions as she senses his peril during this dangerous vision quest. This opening sets the stage for a rich exploration of indigenous spirituality, cultural conflict, and personal growth within a vividly depicted historical setting.
