The Enchanted Mirror

This book is the concluding volume of a trilogy on the history of the Pawnee people. Taken together, the three books of The Enchanted Mirror set forth a panoramic narrative of community and selfhood in the Pawnee world. In the first book, Ancient Pawneeland, we excavate ancient history from misty glimpses of antiquity. In Community and Confederacy in Pawneeland we examine the origins of racial identity systems as a primary cultural shaping force. In this third volume, The Seven Brothers, we explore Echo Hawk family history during the 19th century and 20th century - a tale of genocidal war, diaspora, and the power of racial Indianhood in Pawneeland.
