It is the late 1800s, and a shameful time in American history. The U.S. Government has mandated native tribes send their young people to Indian schools where they are stripped of their native heritage by people they think of as The Others.
Otter and Sun Song are members of The Tribe, and betrothed to be married when they turn eighteen. But when they are sent East to school, Otter, renamed Gideon, tries to adapt, while Sun Song does not, resulting in brutal attacks from the school headmaster. Gideon, thinking Sun Song has spurned him, turns for comfort to Wendy Thatcher, the daughter of a wealthy school patron, beginning a forbidden affair of the heart.
But the Spirits have different plans for Gideon and Sun Song. "You are both child and mother of The Original People," Sun Song is told. "When it is right, you will be safe once more." What follows is a harrowing journey through time and the Five Worlds of the Desert Southwest tribes.

The Storyteller Bracelet eBook Smoky Zeidel Reviews
Part of story was very good
A Magical Story with a surprise ending!
This author is refreshing! The author's knowledge on nature and her honoring Native American culture is absolutely refreshing. I had been reading some "heavy" emotional novels and I am so glad I opted to take a break from those novels and give this author a read...I feel so refreshed... I absolutely take delight in reading The Storyteller's Bracelet... If I could have an entire day to simply read, I would have finished this book already, however, I find myself looking forward to reading this book at the end of the day...curling up and reading...and learning a thing or two about nature that I hadn't known. There are a few "heavy" situations woven into the The Storyteller's Bracelet but nature's gift caresses these situations....
Great story with just the right amount of magic to make it real.Otter and SunSong were stong loving people.Great read
I liked the spooky parts...transportation into a spirit world.but it told the ugly world of early American people and what they thought was their right .
Will read this book again. Though I'm not a fan of fantasy, this story is captivating in that the fantasy is necessary to carry the tale. I love anything about Native Americans, especially when they interact with non-Natives.
It's the late 1800s in America, and the white people in power are trying to civilize the Indians -- and one way they're doing it is to forcibly remove as many Indian children as they can and send them to boarding schools far away from their homes.
Sun Song and Otter are members of an unnamed desert tribe who fall foul of this policy while in their teens. Sun Song is a storyteller, Otter is a silversmith, and the pair are very much in love. But at the white man's school, they are forced apart, given new names and new clothing, and told not to speak their mother tongue upon threat of punishment.
Otter adapts to his new name, Gideon, and his new life, but Sun Song can't do it. She ends up brutalized by the school's headmaster, and cannot bring herself to tell Gideon what's going on. In the meantime, Gideon has begun to fall for the daughter of a white patron of the school. But the spirits of the land have not deserted them, and Gideon and Sun Song discover they have a role to play in saving the earth for all people.
Zeidel's writing is smooth; her characters are appealing and finely drawn. I was interested in the subject matter anyway, of course, but I was delighted to find the story was so well told. I highly recommend this novel -- and if you enjoy it, too, then you should also look for Zeidel's short stories about this pair The Boy Who Survived the River and Why Hummingbird is So Small.
