Winter in the Blood is the debut novel of James Welch. It was published by Harper and Row's Native American Publishing Program in 1974. Set on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in north-central Montana during the late 1960s, Winter in the Blood follows a nameless Blackfeet and Gros Ventre (A'aninin) man's episodic journey to piece together his fragmented identity.[1] Welch received praise from such luminaries as Pulitzer Prize-winning Ojibwe author Louise Erdrich,[2] celebrated American novelist Reynolds Price,[3] and Coeur d'Alene author Sherman Alexie.[4] Alexie later produced the film adaptation of the novel, which was released in 2012.
