Spirit Wind

“Based on a lifetime of anthropological research in the vast, exotic Atchafalaya swampland of southern Louisiana, Gibson spins a story about its ancient Chitimacha Indians. The cultural details are vivid, including a harrowing encounter with cannibals. How does one relate to people who want to have one for dinner, I mean really want to have one for dinner?”

—Charles Hudson, author of The Packhorseman

"Spirit Wind is not only an excellent fictional approach to Chitimacha tribal mythology, but a fascinating and extremely well-written book, capturing the essence of Chitimacha storytelling technique in an excellent and thorough manner.”

—Julian Granberry, author of The AmericasThat Might Have Been: Native American Social Systems through Time
