Summary
Moho Wat is from the Sheepeater tribe that lives in the mountains of what is now Yellowstone Park. Life is hard for the nine-year-old after a terrible struggle with a mountain lion causes him to lose his left hand. Although… devastated, Moho Wat struggles to overcome his injury and teach himself to hunt--using his feet to hold the bow and arrow. His courage and strength is tested when he attempts to rescue the beautiful Wind Flower, who has been taken captive by an enemy tribe. Moho Wat realizes he has succeeded when his father says, "My son, today you have proved that you are as good as any man. You have shown your bravery and your goodness. I am proud of you my son, Moho Wat." Author Kenneth Thomasma is a professional storyteller and writing workshop leader living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Moho Wat is the sixth book in his series, "Amazing Indian Children." More of the books in the Amazing Indian Children series are in Bookshare's library.
