In this lyrical coming-of-age story, Governor General's Award-winner Rudy Wiebe captures the anxiety of a boy who feels powerless to help his people, but who must speak his dreams if they are to survive. Steeped in aboriginal myth and lore, Hidden Buffalo is also the tale of how a whole tribe can turn its gaze from the horizon to see to the wisdom of a child.
Original paintings by noted Cree artist Michael Lonechild capture the colorful palette of the prairie landscape in autumn and the rich detail of Cree life in the late nineteenth century.

Synopsis:: "As the Cree people watch summer drift into autumn, they hunt all over the prairie for the great buffalo herds that will provide food for the coming winter. But they can find none, and the people are growing desperate with hunger, Sky Running is a boy who wants to help his people, but he cannot see or hear the buffalo . One night, he has a vision that reveals to him where the great herds are -- in the badlands to the south, the territory of his tribe's fiercest rivals. The tribe must decide whether to follow a young boy's vision and risk venturing into enemy territory, or worse, stay and risk the harsh winter without sufficient food. Signed by Author(s).
