Opening July 4, 1969, on the Pine Ridge Reservation, The Red Bird All-Indian Traveling Band begins with a raucous Fourth of July gig that abruptly ends with the Red Birds ducking out of the performance in a hilarious hail of beer bottles. By the end of the evening, community member Buffalo Ames is dead, presumed to be murdered, just outside the bar. Sissy Roberts, the band’s singer and the “best female guitar picker on the rez,” is reluctantly drawn into the ensuing investigation by an FBI agent who discovers Sissy’s knack for hearing other people’s secrets.The Red Bird All-Indian Traveling Band is part mystery, part community chronicle. Shaped by a cast of skillfully drawn characters, all of whom at one time or another are potential suspects, at the core of the story is smart and compassionate Sissy.

Editorial : "A slim, evocative, entertaining tale of strange happenings on an Indian reservation in South Dakota."—Shelf Awareness “The Red Bird All-Indian Traveling Band is filled with a cast of memorable characters.

As a huge fan of superhero comicbooks I knew Jerry Robinson as the creator of The Jokerand that's about it. He had me read it to him over and over again.. Or, if (God forbid) you aquire cancer or some other form of sickness that requires medical attention, obviously you need the proper attention. I think the world will be saved much more efficiently and quickly than it has been up to now. The book was very helpful - there are some new features to the iPad and i had no idea how to work with them. Celine's story is one of personal sacrifice and constant focusing into her goal.
Her romance with Rene Angelil though, is kind of sordid and sometimes boring. I felt that I grew with the characters and I fawned over them, felt pride in their accomplishments, shamed them when they were bad, and loved them and cried for them when they could not love themselves and knew not when to cry.
I am no critic. You won't miss at all the big players of the DC Universe like Batman, Superman, Wonde
