Possibly the most useful book available for anyone working in or considering working in elementary and secondary American Indian education. As a tribal school employee, I felt the authors may have used our school as a case study! Thought provoking and inspirational - highly recommended.

These gentle, generous-spirited writers have contributed a great deal to the field. Their book is full of stories, true tales of work in classrooms. Each leads you further into the depths of insight needed to be of use as an educator of Native American students.

This book is loaded with information that will help teachers become inclusive teachers, generating better academic performance in the classroom for all students. Additionally, it is an excellent resource for learning about multicultural teaching and the sensitivities the teacher needs to develop. Beyond this, it is also a fantastically written book that has loads of information about teaching Native American Indians. A must-buy for all would-be teachers.

I purchased this book for an education class I'm taking about American Indians. The material is interesting at times but lengthy. Also, there are no color images or graphics. I thought the price was a little high considering that.
