About this listen
Daughter of Divided Waters spans over fifty years, following not only the struggle of one individual, but the struggles of the Shoshone and Bannock people through times of starvation, wars and betrayal.
Born in the early 1840s, to a trapper father and a Northern Shoshone mother, Emily navigates between two worlds. As a child she had the freedom to race bareback across the Fort Hall bottomlands, towards the towering, snowcapped Hoary Headed Fathers. The Season of the Snowy Moons were spent in the warmth and comfort of her mother's lodge, However, the Ward Massacre, which took place on the Oregon Trail between Fort Hall and Fort Boise was just the beginning of drastic changes in young Emily and her mother's lives.
After the tragic death of her mother, a young adult Emily moved to her aunt Sara's home in Canemah, Oregon. There, she learned social graces and how to dress in the latest fashion while attempting to win the heart of the man she loved. Her native heritage got in the way and her heart was broken. Leaving behind an illegitimate child, Emily returns to the land of her birth. But her story has just begun.
