Mean Spirit
''Mean Spirit'' is a book about the Osage tribe during the Oklahoma oil boom. It is Linda Hogan's first novel. It was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1991. ==Synopsis== The book is set in the 1920s, at a time when rivers of oil were discovered underneath land in Oklahoma that was owned by Indians. At the same time, Grace Banket became the wealthiest individual in the territory. Her status resulted in her murder by a group of greedy white men. So the Graycloud family took over the care of her daughter. But one-by-one, they started dying, and no-one knew why. Those who cared wrote letters begging for help to Washington DC. It was only when Stace Red Hawk, a Native American government official, decided to investigate. He found intimidation, fraud and murder and then something else quite by surprise—that he had a true love for his people along with their brave past. ==Theme== ''Mean Spirits is the recognition that Native Americans culture relies on the survival of the natural world and can easily be corrupted by greed and obsessions to material gains.
