| Summary | "The Heritage of the Sioux" by B.M. Bower is a fictional novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of New Mexico and revolves around the experiences of Annie-Many-Ponies, a young Sioux woman who captures the admiration of the ranch's inhabitants, including the director Luck Lindsay and the ranch hand Applehead. The novel explores themes of identity, cultural clash, and personal ambition as Annie navigates her place in a world that often marginalizes her heritage. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Applehead, who feels a sudden surge of ambition as spring arrives, prompting him to plan an independent cattle roundup. Meanwhile, Annie-Many-Ponies, the daughter of a chief, finds herself at the ranch continuing her role in the film industry. A tension is established between her and Applehead, who holds cultural prejudices against her Native American background. The opening chapters depict the dynamics among the characters, including Annie’s growing attraction to Ramon Chavez and the jealousy it incites from Applehead and Bill Holmes, setting the stage for conflict and drama in this vivid portrayal of life on the ranch during the spring roundup.
