"At the mountain's base sits a cabin under an old hickory tree. And in that cabin lives a [Native American] family -- loving, weaving, cooking, and singing.

Her book follows seven Sioux who put aside a long history of prejudice against their people and joined the fight against Japan, using their native language as a secret code for the Americans. The Sioux and other tribal code-talking groups have historically taken a backseat to the Navajo Code Talkers, until a presidential act of recognition was signed in 2008"--Provided by publisher.
