This is a story about strong Native women; push them and they will push back stronger, quicker and with a sharp object.
Every year hundreds of Native Women are murdered or go missing on Turtle Island. This is a story of a secret group of Native women known as the 650-year-old Elk Whistle Warrior Society. They are lawyers, teachers, social workers, safe house operators, clean up crews. They do not use guns, only the weapons of their ancestors. They instil fear in gangs, cartel members, murderers, and abusers of children. They hunt down human traffickers and those who have harmed their Grandmothers, Mothers, Sisters, Aunties and Daughters. In the quest to seek out the abusers of Native children in particular … they are relentless.
Wow, what a great book, not at all what I expected. I purchased this book a year ago from a local book fair where it found its way to my TBR shelf. After going to the book fair again this year, I thought it time to dust it off and read it. It was an amazing book, full of amazing characters, history of aboriginal people and their teachings. I could not put this book down, and look forward to the next book of the Elk Whistle Warrior Society.
