The Slocum family of Northeastern Pennsylvania are the best of the white settlers, peace-loving Quakers who believe that the Indians hold the Light of God inside. It is from this good-hearted family that Frances is abducted during the Revolutionary war.As the child's terror subsides, she is slowly drawn into the sacred work and beliefs of her adoptive mother and of all the women of these Eastern tribes. Frances becomes Maconakwa, the Little Bear Woman of the Miami Indians. Then, long after the Indians are beaten and their last hope, Tecumseh, is killed, the Slocums hear word of their long-lost daughter and head out to Indiana to meet their beloved Frances. But for Maconakwa, it is a moment of truth, the test of whether her heart is truly a red one. AnnotationIn this fictional account of the life of Frances Slocum, the five-year-old girl is kidnapped from her Quaker parents by Delaware Indians in 1778. She is raised by an Indian woman, and as she matures, becomes a strong figure in her own right. When white settlers threaten the safety of her Native American family, Slocum, now called Maconakwa, makes a choice that proves her allegiance to her new culture.
