He remembers the crash they died in before Harley was born. Henry Burger was drinking and angry about his wife's (Jeannette Mcvay) infidelity. Burger caused a head-on collision with Calvin Wind Soldier and Duane while trying to send the imaginary eyes he saw into hell. </p><p><b>Chapter 1</b>: <b>Grass Dancers</b> – Set in 1981 at the Dakota Days Contest Powwow. In this chapter the reader is introduced to all of the main characters. At the powwow, Pumpkin does a Grass Dance, which is untraditional for a woman to do. After the powwow Pumpkin spent the night with Harley Wind Soldier. The next night Pumpkin and her friends die in a car crash. </p><p><b>Chapter 2: Christianity Comes to the Sioux</b> – this chapter focuses on Harley Wind Soldier as an eighth grader in 1977. Harley internalizes his thoughts about his teacher, Jeanette McVeigh. He watches her behavior toward the students in his class, and observes she is trying too hard. Jeanette studies the culture in books, then applies it to the students, even when it may be out of context. Harley also sees Star Wars for the first time. It was so good, he sees it twice and identifies with the story and characters. This chapter also discusses how Christianity came to the reservation. The Missouri River runs through the reservation, and the river brought boats. On one of the boats came a piano, and gospel music was played. The piano allowed Christianity to take hold, as the tribe appreciated the music from the instrument. </p><p><b>Chapter 3: The Medicine Hole</b> – This chapter takes place in 1976 and is told from the point of view of Herod Small War. Archie Iron Necklace has a dream about Native soldiers escaping from marksmen through the opening of a medicine hole in the ground. Upon revealing this dream to Herod in a Yuwipi ceremony, Archie, Herod, Frank, and Harley set out to find the medicine hole. While looking for it, they stumble upon the abandoned and haunted house of a white woman named Clara Miller. Herod Small War once worked for her in 1921 and engaged in an affair with her, as his wife refused to have sex with him because of certain Sioux traditions related to their newly born children.

Jeanette McVay and her husband have a baby that doesn't look white at all and Herod has an affair with a white woman named Clara Miller. Crystal Thunder (daughter of Anna/Mercury Thunder) also falls in-love with a white boy named Martin Lundstrom. Power also deals with the notion of the end result of leaving the reservation.

Magical realism in <i>The Grass Dancer</i> makes its appearance during certain rituals performed by the Dakota tribe, such as when Frank Pipe retells the story of when someone was killing reservation dogs and shooting coyotes. The tribe decided to perform a Yuwipi ceremony in order to discover who the killer was. During the ceremony, coyote spirits appeared and exposed the killer by carrying off one of the tribe members through the window of the gymnasium.

When Margaret Many Wounds passes away in 1969, Harley Wind Soldier witnesses through a television screen his grandmother's spirit dancing on the moon while Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin first set foot on its surface.

It might not be another culture's reality but it is not a literary strategy for me. I'm really writing character's reality. It never offends me when critics characterize it that way because I understand where that's coming from. It's their cultural interpretation.
