As the prophets have foretold, a child of power has been born unto the Turtle People of the Iroquois Nation. The Elders call him False Face Child, for he is the son of a powerful spirit. A living talisman, the child has inhuman eyes--black mirrors, ageless and deep--and all fear him. All but Jumping Badger, the most powerful war leader of the Bear People. He destroys an entire village to take the boy to use as a spiritual weapon. But his triumph is short-lived. The Bear People suffer terrible visions and hear the voices of the spirits. Strange ailments and mysterious deaths take them one by one. Though he is a seer, False Face Child is also a sad and lonely young boy named Rumbler. Twelve-year-old Wren befriends him and together they escape across the winter landscape of New York and Ontario with Jumping Badger close behind. He now fears the boy's power and seeks to kill him. Their only hope is to stay alive long enough to find Rumbler's legendary father, known only as The Disowned. An epic journey,People of the Masksis another riveting volume inNew York TimesandUSA Todaybestselling authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear's North America's Forgotten Past series.… (more)

Epigraph
approx 800 Ad, Ontario/Upper NY according to the inserted map.
Dedication
To Harold and Sylvia Fenn

And the remarkable H.B. Fenn staff across Canada

In gratitude for their warm friendship, and their dedication to publishing books about Canada's rich archaeological and historical heritage
Acknowledgments:

None of the books in this series would be possible without the in-depth research of field archaeologists, historians, and specialists in Native American religions and culture. We would especially like to thank William Fox, Ronald F Williamson, David G Smith, Gary W Crawford, Dean R Snow, W A Ritchie, Bruce Trigger, Francis Jennings, for their superb research into what constitutes "Iroquoian" culture, and Cara E Richards, Laura Klein, Lillian Ackerman, and Joy Bibarz, for their work in the changing roles of women in Native American societies.
Lastly we offer our deepest thanks to Harriet McDougal. She has been a spring of renewal for us. Whenever we've felt tired or suddenly alone, she's always been there to straighten reality for us.

Thanks, Harriet.
