Summary "The Flamingo Feather" by Kirk Munroe is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young French boy, Réné de Veaux, who embarks on a perilous journey from France to the New World, following the death of his parents and his subsequent journey to his uncle's side. The book explores themes of adventure, friendship, and cultural interaction during a time of early exploration in America. At the start of the novel, Réné, having recently lost his parents, travels to Paris to live with his uncle, the Chevalier Réné de Laudonniere. After a brief, touching farewell to his childhood home, Réné joins his uncle on an expedition to the New World, where they aim to establish a French colony. Upon their arrival, Réné encounters the local Indigenous people and begins to forge a friendship with Has-se, a young Indian boy, while navigating the complexities that arise from their cultural differences and the tensions introduced by enemies like Chitta, a rival young warrior. This opening sets the stage for the intricate adventures, alliances, and conflicts that will unfold in this captivating tale of exploration and survival. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
