Советская журналистка Антонина Расулова и польский писатель индейского происхождения Станислав Суплатович (Сат-Окх) рассказывают о событиях почти двухвековой давности, о трагической судьбе племени чироков, населявших юго-восток современных США.
Under the name Sat Okh, Stanisław Supłatowicz published several autobiographical novels for children in Polish, which were translated into several European languages. The books describe a boy's childhood and coming of age among the Native American tribe in the Northwest Territories in the 1930s, but contain many descriptions of Native American life and customs more appropriate to an earlier time and other geographical locations.
