told by Pete Beaverhead by the Salish Culture Committee, Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes

In Mary Quequesah's Love Story, a tale from the buffalo-hunting era of the nineteenth century, a young woman confronts the difficulties of love. After Mary's husband leaves her, a wise old woman dreams of Mary's sorrow and tells her how to win him back.
Elegant woodcuts by noted Native American artist Dwight Billedeaux accompany this complex story, which, while written at a fifth-grade reading level, will speak to readers of all ages. Co-published with Salish Kootenai College Press.
