Publisher's summary

Winter Releasing the Birds of Spring is a profound exploration of the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ tribe's life as they navigate the transformation from winter to spring.

The narrative eloquently intertwines elements of nature with tribal customs, presenting an intricate tapestry of respect, resilience, and reverence for the natural world. The harsh winter, symbolized as an elder teaching survival and patience, is portrayed with depth and understanding. The anticipated arrival of the spring birds— the resilient Red-Winged Blackbird, the heralding Robin, and the life-bearing Eagle—becomes a poignant metaphor for life's unyielding resilience.

As spring arrives, with the birds' vibrant symphony marking a period of renewal and abundance, the tribe shifts from survival to growth, echoing the land's rejuvenation. The story culminates with a celebration of this eternal cycle of life. The narrative, thus, not only illustrates the tribe's deep-rooted connection with nature but also serves as a universal reminder of the unbreakable bond between all life and the changing seasons.
