# Sis — Cogewea, the Half-Blood character guide

> Sis in Cogewea, the Half-Blood by Mourning Dove.

**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0003-i-cogewea-the-half-blood

## Snapshot

Cogewea's married sister, who runs the Horseshoe Bend household and weighs her sibling's future against her own hard-won contentment.

## Who they are

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.
