Reviews

[Philippa]

Good first introduction to a Native American from the 19th century with a positive slant. We read it as a family read-aloud and were appalled by the US attitudes prevalent at the time towards the centuries-old stewards of the North American continent.

[Shannon]

Really good book but its sad how they were treated.
