Abstract:
In 1528, a Spanish expedition flounders off the coast of Florida. The lone survivor, Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, discovers an ancient Indian tribe. Learning their mystical and mysterious culture, he becomes a healer and a leader. This New World, however, collides with the Old World when Spanish conquistadors arrive to enslave the Indians. Cabeza de Vaca must then confront his own people and past.
