Pat Dolan's book may surprise you. Legend of the Pronghorn follows several generations of Shoshone as they deal with the encroaching "white eyes" and the subsequent degradation of their ancient culture. Mysteriously, many of their experiences are mirrored many years later in the lives of a wayward high school cross-country team desperately seeking self-respect. The fate of the captured "Windigos" is ultimately tied to the team and the lone survivor of a Blackfoot raid, a strange, hard luck Shoshone teen. Both the Native Americans and the modern day runners are unwitting participants in the Great Spirit's grandiose plan to rescue the "Windigos" and thus reunite their people with nature and all things Divine.
