An art dealer named Faye Travers returns to the Ojibwe reservation where her grandmother lives, bringing with her a painted drum she discovered in the art collection of a man whose grandfather was an agent there for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The drum has many stories to tell, and those come to life when it is returned to its home. Louise Erdrich weaves the story of the drum into the story of Faye's family in this multigenerational saga.

Industry Reviews
"Hard to believe, but Erdrich just keeps getting better."
Kirkus (06/01/2005)
"Gracefully weaving many threads, Erdrich details the multigenerational history surrounding the drum....Erdrich crafts a provocative read elevated by beautiful imagery, as when children near death fly off like skeletal ravens."
