Twin Wolverine, Big Bear’s son, is dead. Big Bear remembers a battle where Twin Wolverine sang a coyote song given him.
Sits Green on the Earth about to give birth. Kingbird knows of her infidelity but loves her anyways and says he would’ve given her to Pritchard.

Brutal and hard to follow. Too many characters. A timeline would help.

Big Bear speaks to young Kitty McLean, “A good life should be told in four parts, like everything is four in the life of a Person. The first is to be a child, the second a man proving himself, the third to be known to your band as a good man. And the fourth, if The Only One gives it, is to be known to all the People, everywhere; and honoured.”

Frog Lake Massacre-horrific, I feel Big Bear’s shame.

Big Bear and the People see the worm running through the foothills. Big Bear’s last buffalo run. The signing. Sad.

Big Bear meets with Crowfoot and Sitting Bull. Sitting Bull sees all Whteskins as bad.

Different perspectives. Big Bear in chapter 2. Why wasn’t he consulted. He has an old man’s wisdom.
Chapter 3- John McDougall, a missionary.
