The Sea of Grass: A Family Tale from the American Heartland
$26

In The Sea of Grass, Walter R. Echo-Hawk traces the story of the Echo-Hawk family across ten generations, offering a powerful narrative of survival, resilience, and cultural continuity in the American Heartland. Blending historical events with Pawnee spiritual traditions, oral history, and cosmology, the book follows the family’s journey from the ancient past through the profound upheavals of colonization and into the modern world.

Through vivid storytelling and deeply rooted cultural knowledge, Echo-Hawk brings to life characters such as Calico-Cloth-Woman and Echo Hawk, whose experiences reflect the enduring strength of Pawnee identity in the face of war, disease, displacement, and systemic change. More than historical fiction, The Sea of Grass is a reflection on memory, land, and the spiritual bonds that connect generations. Published in 2018, the book offers an essential perspective on Indigenous history and storytelling in the American West.
