Lost Bird is the tragic story of a six-month old baby found alive
after Wounded Knee in 1890. Zintka Nuni, "Lost Bird", was adopted by
and later abandoned by Brig. Gen. Leonard Colby. Zintka was raised by
his estranged, suffragette wife, Clara B. Colby.
Lost Bird is not only the story of a young Natve American woman
struggling to come to terms with her identity and her surroundings, it
is also a story that speaks to countless children who have been placed
in homes where they never feel that they belong.
Flood, author of six history books is married to Yankton Dakota
historian Leonard R. Bruguier, Ph.D. They live in the Black Hills of
S. Dakota.
