Passing It On: Voices from the Flathead Indian Reservation

by Maggie Plummer

The Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana is home to the Salish, Pend d’Oreille, and Kootenai Indian people. Between 2005 and 2006 author Maggie Plummer listened to a cross-section of voices representing the tribes on the reservation and published profiles in the tribal newspaper, the Char-Koosta News . This book collects these interviews and preserves a slice of the recent history of the Flathead Reservation community.

About the author

Maggie Plummer is a multi-genre author whose latest novel, EAGLE IN FLIGHT, is Book 3 of her semi-autobiographical Jessie Morgan Series. Like Jessie, she
ventured into the wild North Country in the mid-70s, enduring monster mosquitoes and mind-boggling skiff trips on the seething Stikine River near Telegraph Creek, British Columbia.

These days the author works from her Montana home near the shores of Flathead Lake, where she loves hanging out with her sweet black lab, Peaches. EAGLE IN FLIGHT is Maggie's fifth published novel.

BELL-BOTTOM GYPSY: A Jessie Morgan Novel introduced readers to this series in 2019, taking them on an adventurous 1970s coming of age journey along America's back roads.

WEBS IN THE MIST: The Jessie Morgan Series, Book 2 follows Jessie as she arrives in 1970s San Francisco. There, she happily spreads her wings and leaves her troubled past behind. Or does she?

Maggie's first novel, SPIRITED AWAY - A Novel of the Stolen Irish, paints an intimate portrait of 1650s Irish slavery in the Caribbean. The book was: a 2014 Quarter-finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Contest (General Fiction); a 2013 finalist in The Kindle Book Review's Best Indie Book Awards; and placed 2nd in the Paranormal Romance Guild's Best Historical Fiction of 2013. It has 272 reviews on Amazon.

Her second novel, DARING PASSAGE: Book Two of the Spirited Away Saga, tells the rest of Irish slave Freddy O'Brennan's compelling story. Readers call it "a stunning sequel."

Maggie is also the author of the non-fiction PASSING IT ON: Voices from the Flathead Indian Reservation, published in 2008 by Salish Kootenai College Press (Pablo, Montana).

She is already working on her next novel, which will be Book 4 of the four-book Jessie Morgan Series.

Happy reading!
