Commentary Supposing Books People of the Masks (North America's Forgotten Past #10)
As the prophets have foretold, a child of power has been born unto the Turtle People of the Iroquois Nation. The Elders call him False Face Child, for he is the son of a powerful spirit. A living talisman, the child has inhuman eyes--black mirrors, ageless and deep--and all fear him.All but Jumping Badger, the most powerful war leader of the Bear People. He destroys an entire village to take the boy to use as a spiritual weapon. But his triumph is short-lived. The Bear People suffer terrible visions and hear the voices of the spirits. Strange ailments and mysterious deaths take them one by one.
Though he is a seer, False Face Child is also a sad and lonely young boy named Rumbler. Twelve-year-old Wren befriends him and together they escape across the winter landscape of New York and Ontario with Jumping Badger close behind. He now fears the boy's power and seeks to kill him. Their only hope is to stay alive long enough to find Rumbler's legendary father, known only as The Disowned.
An epic journey, People of the Masks is another riveting volume in New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear's North America's Forgotten Past series.

Review of 'People of the Masks:: A Novel of North America 's Forgotten Past' by John Lietzke This is the tenth book I have read about native early North Americans. I thought it was a good story so I gave the book five stars. I also thought the story did not have as much action as previous stories I have read about early native Americans.The SeerThis is one of the best books that I have read about North America's Forgotten past. The legion was that a child of power would be born to the Turtle People of the Iroquois nation. He was know as Rumbler, was only a child but had amazing powers. He was captured by the Bear people, to be used him as a spiritual weapon, but was rescued by a young girl named Wren and the story is about their flight from the cruel War Leader of the Bear people who seeks to kill the Spirit child.

Once again the Gears have brought us back to a time in the beginning, where, once again power is loose. In the ancient forests of modern day Ontario and New York, is Painted Rocks Village, where a young boy lives. This boy is called the False Face Child by those who fear him but goes by the name Rumbler among friends and family. In Walksalong village, Jumping Badger, their war leader has convinced the matrons to attack Rumblers village and kidnap him in order to use his power for their own,
I dived into the middle of this series. I found it to be intriguing and plan on reading more.
I have been a fan of this series by the Gears since the very first book, People of the Wolf. Their ability to blend the archaeological history of the cultures with fictional plots makes their books compelling. People of the Masks is no exception.Beginning with the present day, a team of archaeologists have unearthed a long buried Iroquois site. Living in the northeastern United States and into southeastern Canada, the Iroquois have a rich and fascinating history. People of the Masks is Book Ten
This takes place in the Lake Erie-Lake Ontario region with the Iroquois about 800 AD. The prologue present story is about Maureen Cole: a Seneca physical anthropologist whos husband recently died. A friend of hers asks her come take a look at a new digsite where she meets Dusty Stewart whos in charge of the digsite. At first they butt heads, but I think theyre perfect for each other. The main story begins with Silver Sparrow, elder of Earth Thunderer Village trying to warn Paint Rock village
I have not been able to put this book down since I first picked it up a few weeks ago. It is written by a husband and wife who are both Archaeologists who have written a series of books called The First North Americans and although the story is mainly fictional, it is supplemented by real archaeological and historical findings and facts. Very intense at moments and really sad at others, overall, a very good read. ~Alright, now that I have finished this book, I feel like its ending didn't own up
