Who I'd like to meet:

WHO YOU SHOULD MEET... THE SILVER HAWK WARRIOR SERIES In the 1890’s a prophecy was born. It was called the Ghost Dance movement and was brought to the Native American people by Jack Wilson, also known as Wovoka. When Native people were being hunted and placed on reservations, Wovoka brought hope in a time when it was desperately needed. It was said that if the Native People gathered, caused no harm and danced, the earth would roll up and a great green carpet would cover the land. The wild game would return. The people would be happy again and the old warriors, the ancestors, would return to live again. The SILVER HAWK WARRIOR SERIES is based on prophecy and vision as well. What if it did happen?
