Description

The Song and the Silence: Sitting Wind by Peter Jonker tells the remarkable life story of Stoney Indian Chief Frank Kaquitts, known as Sitting Wind. This compelling biography traces his journey through leadership, cultural identity, and unexpected chapters — including his time as an actor portraying Sitting Bull opposite Paul Newman in Buffalo Bill and the Indians. Through personal history and historical context, the book offers insight into the challenges and triumphs of navigating both Indigenous and Western worlds.

Written with care and sensitivity, this award-winning biography explores cultural difference, resilience, and the preservation of heritage. Jonker presents a thoughtful portrait of a man whose life bridged tradition and modernity, offering readers a meaningful glimpse into Indigenous history and lived experience in Canada and beyond.
