Learn moreA haunting dream that will not relent pulls author Kent Nerburn back into the hidden world of Native America, where dreams have meaning, animals are teachers, and the "old ones" still have powers beyond our understanding.
In this moving narrative, we travel through the lands of the Lakota and the Ojibwe, where we encounter a strange little girl with an unnerving connection to the past, a forgotten asylum that history has tried to hide, and the complex, unforgettable characters we have come to know from Neither Wolf nor Dog and The Wolf at Twilight. Part history, part mystery, part spiritual journey and teaching story, The Girl Who Sang to the Buffalo is filled with the profound insight into humanity and Native American culture we have come to expect from Nerburn's journeys. As the American Indian College Fund has stated, once you have encountered Nerburn's stirring evocations of America's high plains and incisive insights into the human heart, "you can never look at the world, or at people, the same way again."
Kent Michael Nerburn is an American author. He has published sixteen books of creative non-fiction and essays, focusing on Native American and American culture and general spirituality. He won a Minnesota Book Award in 1995 for Neither Wolf Nor Dog and again in 2010 for The Wolf At Twilight. His most recent work, The Girl Who Sang to the Buffalo, is the final book in this trilogy. Nerburn describes his work as a search for "an authentic American spirituality." He has been described as having a "poetry of thought," as someone who reveals the "profound impact of nature and 'place' on the human spirit," and as someone who displays "integrity and honesty in presenting the experience of native elders today." He has been called "one of America's Living Spiritual Teachers" and one of the few authors who can respectfully bridge the gap between Native and non-Native cultures. "He is credited, along with Annie Dillard, Truman Capote, Rick Bragg, and Anne Lamott, as one of the writers who has raised the genre of creative non-fiction into high art."
