People of the Sea (North America's Forgotten Past)

Thousands of years ago, small hunting bands crossed the fragile land bridge linking the Eurasian continent to the Americas and discovered a land untouched by humankind. Over the centuries that followed, their descendents spread throughout this land. Bestselling authors and award-winning archaeologists W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear bring the stories of these first North Americans to life in this magnificent, multi-volume saga.

Twelve thousand years ago, the glaciers of the Sierra Nevada were melting, destroying the habitat of the mastodons and creating the rich land that would become California. The coastal people struggled to understand the changing world around them, but their seer, Sunchaser, had lost his way to the Spirit World. Would his people remain loyal to Sunchaser even as they saw their way of life disappearing like the glaciers, or would they follow a rival seer?
