This is a nice story of native Americans and their life. The story is reminiscent of the persecution faced by native Americans at the hands of outsiders. Feather Dove is a impressionable character and her attachment to her grandma is also very similar to which most girls have. The coming of the wolf cub as her grandmother being reborn is very fantastic. It makes the story assume a fantasy fiction form. The cubs speaking to her is also very imaginative. The persecution of the people by soldiers is sad and we have to come to terms with this reality. Feather Dove's return of belief in the spirits makes the story win our hearts.
