Shifting POVs

The Boat Of A Million Years, XII.

In the opening paragraph, the omniscient narrator describes young men galloping over the plain. There is yet another bird of prey:

"A hawk rode the airflows..." (p. 241)

In the opening sentence of the second paragraph, the narrator informs us that children see the approaching riders. The second sentence takes us into the viewpoint of the oldest boy who becomes:

"...filled with importance..." (ibid.)

The boy is called Little Hare and we see the last of his pov (point of view) at the end of the third paragraph on p. 242. He has passed the message about the returning hunters to the berdache, Three Geese, who succeeds Little Hare as viewpoint character and relays the information to his father, the shaman called Deathless. We then read a third person account of Deathless walking out to meet the hunters and conversing with their leader, Running Wolf. 

Deathless becomes the pov character when he reenters the stockade:

"Upon his own entry, he found tumult." (p. 246)

"Insight escaped him." (p. 248)

- although most of the narration remains impersonal.

His pov ends when:

"...he slept." (p. 251)

There should then be a double space between paragraphs because the text continues with an external scene and an account of an attack on the village. A man bounding from the lodge, recognizable to us as Deathless, is described in the third person. The rest of the narrative is impersonal, including another dialogue between Deathless and Running Wolf.
