Description
B. G. Miller is from Six Nations. Commenting on this book the author notes that, "The skills, education, experiences and the spiritual gifts of an Indigenous woman and her family and friends in North America contribute to the basis of Dream Visitors. Informal education comes from her work and life experiences being raised in an Indigenous community and living for a short time in the United States. Formal education comes from two Bachelor of Arts degrees in Public Administration and Governance, First Nations Technical Institute/Ryerson University, and in Aboriginal Adult Education through Brock University. Taking Creative Writing, Short Stories and Romance Writing courses through Mohawk College became her hobby in the last ten years".
The Cayuga Indigenous Territory occupies parts of both Canada and New York state. Its people live peacefully in their villages, living on the fish in the lakes and the animals and birds in the woods. Desah is in her mid-teens, and she loves nothing better than to sit beside the fire and listen to her brother relate his dreams. She is captivated. It is only when Desah begins her journey into womanhood and goes on the traditional fasts that she begins to have dreams of her own. She dreams about Sheyna, a girl living seven generations in the future. A girl with problems. From the 13th century, can Desah's dreams help Sheyna negotiate the modern world?
