About this title

From the Publisher:

Quote from Booklist Review
"Cherokee writer Hifler captures the earth-based wisdom of her people...Hifler's prose has a deeply rooted sensuousness that transcends region, culture and religion to express a generous human spirit and a soulful approach to life's joys and tribulations. - Patricia Monaghan Booklist

From the Back Cover:

Joyce Sequichie Hifler tells the story of her own childhood in the Oklahoma hills of Cherokee Country. A gracefully written story of contemporary Native American life and spirituality, When the Night Bird Sings soars with deep feeling and trademark Hifler insight and compassion. From a family so poor that an eight-dollar monthly check was a godsend, Hifler shares the profound lessons she learned from her extended family of elders and from the Great Spirit. The richness of the landscape is woven through the book in a poignant tribute to nature and to the universal magic of childhood.
