The Sacred Mountain, A California-Indian-Family Anatomy

 Doe-in-the-Dawn, half-blood Koru Indian and widow of a
Caucasian, becomes activist as a result of the "Red Power"
invasion of Alcatraz in 1969. She pressures her grandson,
Georgie Stonecrist, who teaches school in their town, Colusa,
CA, to join the Indians of All Tribes on the island. Georgie loves his grandmother dearly and would do almost anything for her,
almost anything- except "become an Indian."
The book is about Granny's campaign to Indianize Georgie,
which includes arts and crafts activities, the tribe's history,
settlement of the town, a lawsuit in Federal Court, Georgie's unconventional vision quest on Onolai, the sacred mountain,
and a fund-raiser for the invaders of Wounded Knee.
