The book traces Big Bear’s life across the North-West, highlighting his leadership role amongst the Plains Cree and his negotiations with government authorities during increasingly fraught Indigenous-settler encounters in the mid\/late nineteenth century. Taking a similar approach to that of his 1973 novel “The Temptations of Big Bear,” acclaimed Canadian author Rudy Wiebe mixes historical facts with imaginative liberties to craft a lively biography of Big Bear. Includes chronology and sources.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43136769785995,"sku":"1266","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8566\/7467\/files\/IMG_4319_3a930320-004f-48bd-9e64-1c5c78f12d5e.jpg?v=1771870620","url":"https:\/\/heartofgoldbooks.com\/products\/big-bear","provider":"Heart of Gold Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
