Reclaiming Mni Sota - Colin Mustful [Audiobook]

Winner - 34th Annual Midwest Book Award for Literary, Contemporary & Historical Fiction
Two cultures, two young men, and a collision course that changes history.
In 1859, Samuel Copeland leaves Vermont as a teenager, seeking a new life on the Minnesota frontier. But the promise of freedom and prosperity comes at a steep price. When his father is killed in a violent encounter, Samuel joins the Union army, hoping for safety-but finds danger at every turn.
WaabiskiMakwa was still a boy when his father died at Sandy Lake, a victim of U.S. government negligence. As his way of life collapses, WaabiskiMakwa leaves home to grieve, to seek a future that might include his lost love, Agnes, and to navigate a world that seems determined to erase his people.
Neither young man can see the collision course ahead-shaped by broken treaties, war, and the relentless march of history. When conflict erupts in Minnesota, their paths intersect in unexpected ways, amid the chaos of the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.
As Dakota spokesman Little Crow and Ojibwe leader Bagone-giizhig form a fragile alliance to reclaim Native lands, early victories at Fort Ridgely and New Ulm push toward Fort Snelling, a stronghold long thought unassailable.
Reclaiming Mni Sota is a deeply human historical novel that examines courage, loss, and the consequences of history. What if the defeated had prevailed? What truths might emerge about the past-and the world we inhabit today?
