Scarlet Feather

Piyanah is a girl born into an American Indian tribe that has lost its true heritage and become the prey of prejudice and superstition. She grows up with her cousin Raki as outsiders to the tribe, because her mother refuses to accept the restrictions of tradition. But, in truth, she is the daughter of the chief, and once her mother dies, Piyamah and Raki are named to succeed her father and lead the tribe to a new future.
