Question
Excerpt from Red Wolf
Excerpt from Red Wolf by Jennifer Dance
When he regained consciousness, he was a changed person. Until then, he had fleetingly and intermittently believed that he was still Mishqua Ma’een’gun. Despite the shocking things he had learned about The People, their powerlessness to stand firm against the white man, and his anger toward his family for abandoning him, he still sometimes thought of himself as Red Wolf. He thought of himself as George, too, but never as 366. But when he learned that his father was dead and his mother cared more for the devil’s firewater than for him, he became George, 366. It brought stillness to his spirit. There was no more inner conflict, no turmoil. He was numb. He was dumb. He was George.
