Epigraph
It is true, Iquhuac. When mortal danger confronts thee, heed to the ancients in thy blood. Hear the voice of the eagle."
Zaviar Ramon Corte
Tenochtitlan
The "Towas" of this story were of the Paequiu (or Paequiula) tribe, known today as The People of the Pecos Pueblo (Cicuye).
However they spoke Towa and are identified as such in this book.
Time is a great circle;
there is no beginning, no end.
All returns again and again
forever.
Dedication
Voor mijn zoons
For my sons
First words
The life in the Chief's kiva was dim; only bits of sky showed around the edges of the woven yucca mat covering the entrance overhead.
Cautiously, Tolonqua followed the bank around a bend, ignoring the footprints his buffalo-hide moccasins left upon the sand.

Book description
blurb: It was two hundred years before Columbus. The spirits of nature walked the earth, and the people of the American Southwest lived in intimate harmony with the land, the sky, and the seasons. Here the beautiful, blue eyed Kwani, gifted with magical vision, and Tolonqua, Hunting Chief of the Towa, joined in passion that defied all taboos. Here Tolonqua fought to build a great fortress city to protect his clan against the dread Pawnee and other foes. Here, Kwani battled suspicion and envy to preserve her place as She Who Remembers, and pass on her powers to a daughter marked at birth for an awesome destiny. Here Kwani’s son risked death for honor and for love. Here, is a novel of unsurpassed vividness and narrative sweep, a vanquished world come to unforgettable life.
