For centuries the mysterious region of Southeast Asia known as the Golden Triangle has exerted a powerful hold over the Western imagination. Today it continues to figure in world news because of the infamous traffic in opium and heroin. Yet this fascinating area is also of considerable interest for a different reason: within it live six culturally distinct peoples - the Karen, Hmong, Mien, Lahu, Akha and Lisu - struggling to maintain the integrity of their beliefs and way of life against all the pressures of the rapidly changing society around them.

The Six Tribes each hold fierce animals who are determined to become warriors. The Woodland People receive their animal spirits at the age of twelve and can turn into their animal at any moment. Hutch is ready to receive his animal spirit. He wants to know what animal truly lies in him. Will it be the Bear Tribe with its huge grizzlies that could crush a skull under its paw, the Dog Tribe whose wolves and foxes are skilled hunters, the Cat Tribe with cougars and lynx that are swift and lean, the Deer Tribe and their strong moose and elk whose antlers stretch proudly, the Bird Tribe with its screeching eagles and ospreys, or lastly the Critter Tribe that consists of beavers, raccoons, and more? These six tribes will all unite as one to defeat the greatest evil in the land- the Stone People whose leader, Dogwaff, is bloodthirsty and is determined to have ultimate power. Will Hutch with his animal spirit and his two friends be able to stop Dogwaff and his evil? Will they find the three dragon stones in time to hatch ferocious fire, water, and ice dragons that can defeat the Stone People? Bear-wolf hybrids, half wild cat half human people, and fearsome groggles may stand in Hutch's way of finding the dragon stones but sometimes the smallest of people can be the bravest of us all.

The Five (later Six) Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy were central to the story of the white colonization of the American Northeast. The European fur trade transformed their world, and the struggles between English and French colonists forced the tribes to take sides during the Beaver Wars as well as the French and Indian Wars (1689-1763), which included King William's War, Queen Anne's War, King George's War, and finally ended with the French and Indian War of 1754. Sir William Johnson's efforts in the Mohawk Valley ensured that the Iroquois Nations were allies of the British crown; and the loyalty of his kinsman Joseph Brant (Thayendanegea) during the American Revolution forced the Mohawks into Canadian exile. This richly illustrated book introduces Iroquois history, social organization, religion and material culture.
