About the book
Walking Coyote gently lifted the frightened buffalo calf and sang softly. Lone survivor of a herd slaughtered by white hunters, the calf was one of several buffalo orphans Walking Coyote adopted and later raised on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. For thousands of years massive herds of buffalo roamed across much of North America, but by the 1870s fewer than 1500 animals remained due to hunting threats. With reverent care, Walking Coyote and his family endeavoured to bring back the buffalo herds, one magnificent creature at a time.
