Shauna and Rebecca are excited to chat with David Heska Wanbli Weiden about his award-winning book, Winter Counts. While Rebecca asks a lot of questions about the historical facts she didn't know about Native American history, she wants to be clear that Winter Counts is a layered thriller with a flawed but moral main hero, Virgil Wounded Horse. This is a compelling read about justice, love, and resilience.
