The Fearing Time
(
Shopping-NewsWire.com
, September 30, 2022 ) Denver, CO and The Dalles, OR – Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service
self-publishing
and book marketing company—is pleased to announce the release of Gene Gade’s The
Fearing Time
. This historical novel skillfully captures the drama and cultural conflict of Indian boarding schools. It also incorporates incidents from the author’s experiences while working as a counselor in a dormitory with elementary school kids in a boarding school on the Navajo reservation.
The century-long official policy of removing Native American children from their families, placing them in often brutal boarding schools and forcibly repressing their languages and cultures resulted in massive tragedy for individuals and tribes and in cultural conflicts that have yet to heal. The Fearing Time weaves that tragedy and conflict into an exciting story that builds toward a dramatic and violent confrontation that actually happened at a remote trading post in 1892. When a militant Navajo leader and his followers clashed with an arrogant Indian Agent over the issue of the boarding school policies, the crowd turned into a mob that nearly killed the agent and held him and his entourage under siege in the trading post until soldiers came and negotiated a truce.
The fictional narrative follows Kai, a 12-year-old Navajo boy who makes a desperate attempt to escape from a brutal boarding school. Bitterwater, a Navajo policeman, is assigned to capture and return the boy to the school, but he has his own demons resulting from his participation in the “Long Walk”—the notorious exile of the Navajos after their conquest by the US Army—and Bitterwater’s experience with the “kill the Indian to save the man” policy at the famous Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania.
When Kai is brutalized upon his return to the school, Bitterwater and his wife, Ruth, aid Kai’s second escape. Ruth takes Kai to join a group of Navajos led by a man named Black Horse (a real historical character), who is radically opposed to all white intrusions, especially boarding schools. The newly freed Kai joins with several other Navajo youths on a raid to capture cattle and horses in territory dominated by Mormon settlers, and the adventure results in numerous incidents, some humorous, others life-threatening.
A monumental clash of cultures leads to high adventure and drama midst the spectacular Navajo country in The Fearing Time, which is based on actual events. A boy’s desperate escape and the violent confrontation at Round Rock Trading Post illuminate the inevitable and tragic conflicts that result when education is weaponized to destroy indigenous cultures.
