Set in the early 1800s, this tale offers a glimpse into the Lakota tribe on the cusp of a great historical change. Little Chief, a young Lakota boy, dreams of a white bear tied to a tree and bleeding at the neck. His grandfather tells him he must watch for this bear - or something like it - because dreams are Wakan, sacred signs from the creator.

What can one small lizard do to alter the fate of a young girl in the City of the Sun? Lela's people have fallen under the dark rule of Red Dog, a twisted, power-hungry priest. All are in danger--especially the infants and mothers. Lela's only hope rests on a tiny four-legged, but this is no ordinary lizard. He is Sulee-One Who Sees. And all the powers of creation have come to assist him in his mission.
