But an ill-fated decision to fight in Vietnam changes his life forever: cut off from his Native American community, he fathers a child with another woman. When he returns home a hero, he finds his tribe in conflict over the decision to hunt a whale, both a symbol of spirituality and rebirth and a means of survival. In the end, he reconciles his two existences, only to see tragedy befall the son he left behind.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Dream-like...While filled with heartbreaking events, the novel has a life-affirming spirit that makes the journey worthwhile.-- "Library Journal"<br><br>Hauntingly wise, beautifully written, and fiercely tender, <em>People of the Whale</em> goes between realms of animal and human, between Native and non-Native, between the radiant world as it once was and still might become.
