Wynema: A Child of the Forest
Authorship not stated
You are Miss Weir, a new teacher at an Indian Territory mission school, praying in a language most pupils can't follow until Wynema Harjo crosses the room to ask what you meant. She becomes your translator, teaching English and Creek side by side, while her family feeds you and quietly tests what you're teaching their daughter. When fever keeps you from the schoolroom before the Busk festival, Wynema sends for a medicine man, and you must decide whether to trust a cure you don't understand.
