“What are you doing?”
I heard the whisper before I saw Moon Awake.“I . . .
I’m . . . ,” I stuttered.
“Are you leaving? Are you running away?”
“Yes,” I said, trying to sound braver than I felt.
“They will bring you back,” she said. “Others have run.
And they have been brought back. It is foolish to run. It will
only make things worse.”
“You can come with me,” I said. “We can go together.”
For a moment, I thought she was going to agree. But she
shook her head no.
“I can’t stay,” I said, trying to let those simple words
explain everything.
“And I can’t go,” Moon Awake answered with a catch in
her voice, as if she were going to cry. She touched my hand,
then moved silently back into the dark.
“Ms. Wolf ’s story,
Runs With Courage
, is both historically and culturally accurate.”
—Ms. Jace DeCory, assistant professor in American Indian Studies,
Black Hills State University
“
Runs With Courage
is a wonderful story written with great empathy and
understanding. The research that Ms. Wolf did for this novel is apparent and
I feel that she has paid the utmost respect to the people of the Oceti Sakowin.”
