Dedication and Acknowledgement
This story is meant to entertain and enlighten. Therefore, the author would like to apologize for any inaccuracies in the portrayal of the lives of the Dakota and Hopi peoples and their languages. They are held in the utmost respect by the author. There was no intention to offend.
The author would like to thank Drew Hunt for his inspiration in the writing of this story. Without his love, friendship and editorial help the author would never have had the courage to even try to write a story such as this. Thanks also go to Tim Mead. His encouragement has been invaluable.
And to Dave Lake, whose love is a continual inspiration in both the author’s life and his writing.
