Overview

Neanderthals: had fair skin and some had red hair and blue eyes could speak as well as we can, were intellectually bright catching dolphins (something that cannot be done from shore), killing megafauna for food with spears, surviving cold temperatures and hostile environments that would challenge our best outdoors men and women, created art, buried their dead with red ocher, and/or flowers, cared for their disabled. Ki'ti's Story, 75,000 BC, provides an opportunity to explore a unique view of Neanderthal life based on recent science. It's a coming of age story in the succession of the People's Wise One. More than that it is the story of a People who survived for hundreds of thousands of geologic years. Come walk with Neanderthals and explore a different time and place. Meet Wamumur, the Wise One, who recaptures love and learns a little too late that he pushes too hard as a teacher, as did his father before him; Totamu, the administrative head of the People, whose officious behaviors are accepted often with irritation but with the realization that she works for the good of the People; Ki'ti, the child whose childhood is cut short because she has been gifted with memory of the stories of the People, who is wise beyond her years in some respects and ignorant and willful in others; Nanichak-na, the individual recognized for hunter leadership who would be chief it they had one.

About the Author

Bonnye Matthews was born in Richmond, Virginia. She taught English and has written in every job she's had whether in academia, business, industry, volunteer work, or government. She became interested in the peopling of the Americas when taking a history class. That would have been the end of it had not the professor cautioned her that her rejection of the tradition of the land bridge concept and especially the Clovis people as the first Americans and their slaughter of the megafauna was going against significant archaeology and history authorities. He was right. Bonnye spent years researching. As a result of that research the Winds of Change Series was born. Bonnye enjoys living in the beautiful Matanuska-Susitna Valley in Alaska.
