Old school Indian : a novel / Aaron John Curtis.

Curtis, Aaron John, (author.).

Summary:

"Abe Jacobs is Kanien’kehá:ka from Ahkwesáhsne -- or, as white people say, a Mohawk Indian from the Saint Regis Tribe. At eighteen, Abe left the reservation where he was raised and never looked back. Now forty-three, Abe is suffering from a rare disease -- one his doctors in Miami believe will kill him. Running from his diagnosis and a failing marriage, Abe returns to the Rez, where he’s persuaded to undergo a healing at the hands of his Great Uncle Budge. But Budge -- a wry, recovered alcoholic prone to wearing punk T-shirts -- isn’t all that convincing. And Abe’s time off the Rez has made him a thorough skeptic. To heal, Abe will undertake a revelatory journey, confronting the parts of himself he’s hidden ever since he left home and learning to cultivate hope, even at his darkest hour." -- Amazon.com.
