I don't quite know what to say about this one. It was rather repetitive, the basic cycle (new place: she's a witch) repeats several times. Now we are dealing with Kwani's daughter Antelope since Kwani died at the end of the last one.
The incorporation of actual prehistoric Native American sites is intriguing, but beyond the physical layout of the sites, I'm not sure that anything in the stories can be supported by anthropological evidence.
Antelope and infant daughter Skyfeather travel from the pueblos of New Mexico to a major site in eastern Oklahoma, and other characters travel down the river (the Arkansas?) and up the Mississippi to the Cahokia site in southern Illinois. They eventually return to New Mexico to be the ancestresses of the guy that led the pueblo revolt.
Maybe this wasn't all that bad, it just wasn't up to the level of what I've been reading lately.
