"A rediscovered novel portrays Cherokees in transition"
John Milton Oskison was a mixed-blood Cherokee known for his
writing and his activism on behalf of Indian causes. "The Singing
Bird," never before published, is quite possibly the first
historical novel written by a Cherokee.
Set in the 1840s and '50s, when conflict erupted between the
Eastern and Western Cherokees after their removal to Indian
Territory, "The Singing Bird" relates the adventures and tangled
relationships of missionaries to the Cherokees, including the
promiscuous, selfish Ellen, the "Singing Bird" of the title. The
fictional characters mingle with such historical figures as
Sequoyah and Sam Houston, embedding the novel in actual events.
"The Singing Bird" is a vivid account of the Cherokees' genius
for survival and celebrates Native American cultural complexity and
revitalization.
