Answer: Barb

Answer: Banblecheya

When Charly Black Crow had to go on his banblecheya, he had to go to this quiet place in complete nudity. He could take water to drink with him but he couldn't take any food. The point of a banblecheya is for whoever is taking it to have their very own vision quest. So, when someone is taking a banblecheya, they are on a vision quest.

Answer: Mrs. Grice

Mrs. Grice was the owner of a group home that Charly Black Crow was staying with. Unlike some other group home owners Charly had stayed with, Mrs. Grice was not exactly the friendly type. She would have you stand on an X for taking food off your plate and sticking it in your pocket so you could have some later. She was also very sadistic in many other ways as well.

Answer: Indian

Ever since Charly was a little boy, he desperately wanted to become an Indian. He loved the Indians and he also loved the way that Indians lived. He even changed his name from Floyd Rayfield to Charly Black Crow while he learned everything he could about Indians.

Answer: Nicky

When Charly decided that he was going to flee and find an Indian reservation to live on, he went to Barb's house where Nicky's motorcycle was being kept at in the garage and then he fixed it up and took off on it. Afew miles before Charly reached his destination, the motorcycle gave up and Charly had to walk it the rest of the way.

Answer: Mr. Saberhagen

Mr. Saberhagen was actually similar to Mrs. Grice. They were both mean to Charly in many ways. One day when Charly went to school, he was wearing his authentic moccasins and Mr. Saberhagen told him he couldn't wear them because they went against the school dress code. Charly refused to not wear them, and at the same time he talked back with a "tone" at Mr. Saberhagen.

The consequence for talking back was a week of detention, and that was where Charly first met Nicky.

Answer: Iya

In Charly's story, Stone Boy was a young man who was half human and half stone. Along time ago before his birth, his mother lived with her two brothers and one day they suddenly disappeared. Later on, his mother swallowed a pebble and she mysteriously became pregnant.

She gave birth to Stone Boy and when he grew up and became a man, he went to defeat the Evil One known as Iya and save his ancestors who were being imprisoned by the beast. When he attempted to defeat Iya the first time, he failed and then he went to Old Woman and she healed his wounds.

She told him to take a mirror with him the next time he was to go up against the Evil One, and when he did he defeated Iya and he also set all of his ancestors free.

Answer: Chief Bear-in-cave

Chief Bear-in-cave was the chief at the Indian reservation that Charly Black Crow arrived at. The Indian reservation belonged to the Dakota tribe and that was the tribe that Charly wanted to become a member of.

Answer: No

At the end of the story, Chief Bear-in-cave called Charly's social worker and he asked her to come see Charly. When Barb got there, Charly decided to go back to the group home or possibly become part of a new group home and Chief Bear-in-cave told Charly that he could come back to the Indian reservation during the summer.
