"Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely." - Lord Acton
Big Chief is a twisty story about politics on "the Rez"... there is lots of corruption, overwhelming greed, and who has absolute control. As I read the story, the quote above echoed in my head.
The story focuses on a young lawyer, Mitch Caddo, and his struggles to feel like he "belongs" and the story is woven with his memories of growing up outside of the reservation and feeling a bit lost and not belonging anywhere. At the start of the story, it seems like he has picked the "wrong side" and he is happy to live with that... or is he.
The writing in this story was really so very good. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it!
