The Ancient Child

Set is a San Francisco artist, a Kiowan Indian who was raised by a white professor. He travels to Oklahoma to the Kiowan reservation to attend the funeral of a relative and meets Grey, a medicine woman. Set returns to San Francisco, but his painting suffers along with his psyche. After he has a nervous breakdown, he goes back to the reservation, to Grey, who performs various rituals of transformation on him as he attempts to reintegrate himself into the Indian world.
