The year is 1857, the location the American Fur Company trading post on the Upper Missouri. A young woman named Paiota receives a very special vision from the Blackfeet god Sun, claiming her as his sacred woman. Determined to serve Sun and do good works among her people, she is renamed Natowap-ahki (Sun Woman) by the tribal elders. Still, she knows that, someday, a man will come to claim her, carrying a token known only to Sun Woman and the sky god. Many men desire her, but she must adhere to her vows and await the will of Sun.

James Willard Schultz (1859-1947) is best known for his books on the Blackfeet Indians, among whom he had lived, loved and worked for most of his adult life. Writing both novels and non-fiction, he brought his deep understanding of the people to his work. In Sun Woman, he has taken a special approach to his subject, producing a novel that involves faith in the traditional Blackfeet gods and the desire of many men - some good, some wicked - to make her their own. Originally published in 1926, it is reprinted here for the first time with the kind permission of the Museum of the Rockies.
