Book excerpt: The modern day world clashes with Native American traditions as Jeff travels the road to his destiny.To get a college education Jeff receives a scholarship with the stipulation he must spend five years teaching on an Indian reservation. Although he would like to stay at home on the Lac du Flambeau reservation in Northern Wisconsin, he is sent to a Blackfoot Reservation in Montana.As soon as he crosses into South Dakota during his travel to Montana, Jeff experiences visions of the people who once exclusively called the region home. In addition to the visions, he receives a gift from the Great Spirit of a Blue Eagle Feather. Little does he know the significance of either the visions or the gift until he arrives on the reservation and meets the old man who can explain the meaning of both. Once all is revealed Jeff's life changes forever.
