We Are Mesquakie, We Are One

by Hadley Irwin

This powerful, fact-based story is seen through the eyes of Hidden Doe, a Native American girl who comes of age during the 1840s, when the U.S. government forces her people to leave their homeland in Iowa and to make the bitter journey to a Kansas reservation. During this painful time, Hidden Doe is counseled in the ways of her people by the elders of the tribe and she struggles to preserve her heritage until she can find a way to return home.

Yet another native american YA book I read when I was younger. I dont recall a whole lot about this one. But I remember thinking it was an ok read,nothing special but decent enough.
