Circle for the Earth
A Time Travel Saga to Forge a Sustainable Future
Earth grants humanity an extraordinary second chance. Imagine a South Dakota Indian casino and its surrounding area transported back to the year 1791, before the Louisiana Purchase. Here, modern lives collide with the past, igniting a powerful story of survival, cultural clash, and human connection.
Displaced in time, the Lakota people and local residents face the challenge of creating a sustainable future. Together, they establish a new government, rebuild technology, and learn to thrive in an unfamiliar eighteenth-century world. But as internal conflicts arise and external threats loom, the community must stand strong—or risk repeating history’s mistakes.
At the heart of this tale are unforgettable characters. Rose Chasing Hawk, a single mother, rises as a reluctant leader while raising teenagers in a turbulent new reality. Oliver Jackson, a Black ex-police officer and Iraq War veteran, confronts his commitment to nonviolence amidst growing tensions. And Two Elks, a Lakota leader native to this time, defends his homeland from outsiders wielding strange technologies and ideologies.
What if you could change the past to save the future? One year after a mysterious event sends a South Dakota community back to 1791, the newly formed Changleska Coalition faces its greatest challenge yet: survival as a sovereign, Indigenous-led nation in a world dominated by slavery, empire, and war.
Diplomats from Spain, France, Britain, and the young United States descend on the resort-turned-embassy of Omímeya. Rose Chasing Hawk must hold the fragile peace together. Oliver Jackson, a peacemaker at heart, struggles with his role as military leader. Jamal Alston races to Boston to stop the rise of the cotton economy. And Rose’s daughter, Kimímela, begins to awaken mysterious powers that could alter the fate of nations. But not everyone wants peace. As old-world empires clash with new-world visions, Changleska must defend its lands, free the enslaved, and reshape history—before history erases them.
A time travel epic of survival, sovereignty, and revolution—with the heart of a family drama and the mind of a political thriller.

A riveting time travel and in-depth immersion into possibilities if the United States could forge a new environmentally and culturally sustainable future from our country’s evolution from 1791. With hindsight of policies and treaties that brought us to our current unsustainable state of climate and politics, Singingtree has created a unique set and setting to bring people together with unique talents and wisdom to create new forms of governing and social justice.

“This book is creative, engaging, and thought provoking. The characters are well developed and I could not only picture them felt like I knew them personally. I especially like that there is such strong female lead character. The plot kept me interested the entire time and you can tell the writer has a social consciousness and cares. I was intrigued, amazed by the creativity, saddened in parts, angry in others, and even chuckled in some places. I can’t wait to see what the writer has in store for us in the next book!” Y. Sun

Who doesn’t wish that at some point in time, they could go back in time and change some wrongdoing? Except, in this case, there is not one lone time traveler but a whole cast of characters from varying backgrounds, those who were staying at the casino and those living in the surrounding area.
