Publisher's summary

A last branch of California’s Pomo Indians is still struggling for federal recognition and a viable home. When a French wine corporation colludes with the state to buy an abandoned old-growth redwood state forest, news breaks that it was the site of a previously unknown massacre of the Pomos’ ancestors in 1856.

Seeing the state trying to bury the story, Pomo reporter Ishi Darkhorse teams up with a world-famous high wire queen to resist on the ground and in the trees. They expose a veritable circus of political double-dealing, violence, and calamity and find themselves in the crosshairs of government and corporate thugs. As California burns, the tribe, local townspeople, and environmental activists enter the fray.
