Synopsis
In this charming collection of brief essays, Hifler pays tribute to the simple blessings of daily life and shares the lessons she learned from those who nurtured her during her childhood in Cherokee County. In each small piece, she reflects upon a memory or incident from which she extracts fresh meaning. Planting beans, for instance, prompts a meditation on the unending story of creation.

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.
