Write-Up Epithetical Books People of the Raven (North America's Forgotten Past #12)

All the North wind woman were red haired, I mean for real?

This was one of the best books of this series. It deals with the fictional setting for the Kennewick Man. The story takes place at a time when the "Caucasian-type" prehistoric North Americans were diminishing and the "Mongoloid-type were expanding. The story is very hard to get into because of the number of characters and the profusion of names like "Windwoman"that may apply to a person or, in this case the wind. Anyone who has read books by the Gears is familiar with this and has to be prepared

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a tale of survival and strategy. The People of the Raven are in a subservient relationship with the North Wind People; they provide food and resources whilst the North Wind People provide them with skilfully-produced artefacts. What should be a symbiotic relationship has descended into one that verges on the borders of genocidal warfare - and it is the North Wind People who have the edge!Anyone who comes to the First Americans series has to accept that these

Great story about the early Americas. Espionage, war and of course, love.

This book is based upon the archaeological find of the Kenniwick man in Washington in about 1996. I remember vividly the thoughts I'd had when this finding was released. Finding a white man over 9,000 years ago in the America's stirred so much in the Anthropology and Archaeology world. As the Gear's weave their tale of historical fiction...the events intertwine with my own study of Ancient Americas.

Not the Gears' best work. At the time this was written, it was based on a controversial finding some claimed was a Caucasoid skeleton. The book is based on this premise (which has since turned out to be false). That aside, the fetishization of multiple female characters with red hair, while almost no male Caucasians appear is problematic.

i loved the setting, but the Gears pulled out their formula a bit too much for this one. The last book i read by them, 'People of the Masks," was also very formula-apparent. The previous few were more original. Still I think I will continue with this series to see which cultures the Gears will drop me into.
