Summary:
The Elk Whistle Warrior Society is a novel about Indigenous women taking back their place on Turtle Island and protecting the vulnerable. In the past, the men were responsible for providing the necessities of life, food, shelter and clothing. Colonization brought patriarchy and racism attacking women's identities. The taking of Native children and putting them in residential schools destroyed the future of this society for generations to follow. The Elk Whistle Warrior Society is all about saving their children, daughters, mothers, aunties and grandmothers from the people who prey on them and only sees them as an economic commodity in human trafficking. The Society, using the Native way of doing things, hunts down the people who murder their relatives. There is a group called the Guardians who supply them with everything they need to function. These are the "Ancients", Elders who have been in the Society for years. The male warriors back up the women. In the tradition of the two great Indigenous women. Lozen, the Apache woman warrior of the Chiricahua Apache's and the sister of Victorio, who Geronimo said she was his best horse stealer and warrior; plus Running Eagle, the woman warrior of the Piikáni Piegan Tribe of the Blackfeet Nation, The Elk Whistle Society carries on the tradition of all these brave women, plus all the others, from their ancestor's before them.
