Saskatchewan: A.P.. Good in Good dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. 0968736904 . "A remarkable book about a prominent Plains Cree leader of the nineteenth century who ought to be far better known to all Canadians. Provides great insight into the life of this man but it also richly details Cree culture, society and economy before and during the era of rapid change. While the focus is on Chief Ahtahkakoop, there is a much larger and fascinating cast of characters introduced here, including his extended family and others in the community, both Cree and non-Cree." - Sarah Carter, University of Calgary.
