Morning Song, daughter of an Iroquois woman and violent French trader, learned to be stubborn, brave and spirited. As Iroquois traditions are being compromised by intertribal wars, Morning Song receives the sacred mantle of the storyteller from her aged grandmother, Teller of Legends. But she is continually tested as she seeks to follow her own vision, and be true to both her love for warrior Cloud Dancer and her tribal traditions.
