This book is Steeped in Native American lore and information. The author is a Native American. Red Hawk is so Hot. I love the guy on the cover too. This is set in 1850's and he leads an expedition of Archeologists to a dig site. All the while he is trying to find a way to help his lost clan escape their curse. During all that he also manages to steal the heart of the lady in charge of the Dig. Nice read.
