But when his beloved Cousin goes missing, things start to fall apart. With law enforcement failing—indeed refusing—to investigate the disappearance, the community members take matters into their own hands, rallying around the leadership of a sawn-off shotgun-slinging rancher named Kate McCannon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The resultant women-led coalition of freedom fighters strikes back against the Mounted Police as they investigate the boys’ disappearance and take their futures into their own hands. But violence continues to haunt Niko, and boys continue to disappear. As he leaves his boyhood behind and draws closer to finding Cousin, Niko’s investigation points to a harrowing revelation about his own heritage, which heels closer to violence that any boy would wish to know.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Written with the pace and punch of \u003ci\u003eThe Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu\u003c\/i\u003e and the inventiveness of \u003ci\u003eThe Only Good Indians\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTreat Them as Buffalo\u003c\/i\u003e delivers a gripping portrait of a young man coming of age before his time.
