Sis keeps the Carter ranch running — feeding the roundup crew, minding little Denny and Percy, and helping Cogewea with the endless housework. Having married a white man who proved good and kind, she wears her racial prejudices more lightly than her sister, and so reads Cogewea's courtship by the Easterner with a tolerance the old grandmother cannot share. Her quiet pragmatism becomes a counterweight to Stemteemä's warnings, making the household itself a battleground over what a half-blood woman's future should look like.
