Dan, the Indian elder is in the twilight of his life and he needs help getting through his own "bucket list". Who can he trust to help him, but his favorite "white man", Nerburn. http:// Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:59:06 GMT Written in a fictionalized account of actual events, you will find yourself drawn into the story. Dan, a Lakota Indian talks about how the white man came and forever changed his people. The Lakota are neither Indian nor white or as the title says, wolf nor dog. His stories will leave you laughing and at other times, crying.
