The Shaman's Daughter

Set mostly in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, "The Shaman's Daughter" weaves the lives of two Cherokee teenagers separated by time in a coming-of-age story. In the 19th century, Cistoo becomes the first female shaman of her tribe. Though European settlers begin to encroach upon her tribe's land, Cistoo finds the strength to lead her people west to safety. Lokie, a contemporary Cherokee teenager, faces the threat of a modern highway tearing through sacred land. The highway forces a church to relocate their cemetery. When the graveyard crew digs up a century-old mystery, Cistoo and Lokie's lives become inextricably linked. 9781491722107 149172210X 0 Cherokee Indians NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=dmFWnwEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
