Summary

In my book "War of the Eagles" there is a main character whose name is Jed. He is a Tsimshian boy. He lives with his mother and grandmother. His English father serves as a fighter pilot overseas, so he doesn't often see his father. His grandmother is a Tsimshian. His grandmother obeys old traditional Tsimshian rules. She still believes when a Tsimshian dies, if he has led a good life, he comes back to earth as an eagle. She always tells stories about the herbs and plants growing in the forest. Jed has a best friend. His name is Tadashi. He is a Japanese boy. They always be together. They both love hunting. After the hunting, they eat what they hunt. His mother works in an army base. She always work so she comes home once a week. Jed doesn't see his mother, so sometimes he goes to see his mother in her work place. Jed's grandmother is a very intelligent woman. She can not read or write but this does not stop her from telling stories and her clan's history. Jed always does what her grandmother says because in their culture they have to do what older people want them to do.
