I was very happy to find this book. My daughter loves it. I wanted to be able to share the history of how Native Americans and African Americans worked together, lived together in this country (US). Thank you for creating this book.

Little Seminole on the Prairie?, March 9, 2006
This review is from: Dancing with the Indians (Paperback)
This book is beautifully illustrated. It is the story of an African-American who escapes slavery on a plantation and finds a home among the Seminole. The book looks at the ribbon dance, the stomp dance, and the rattlesnake dance. However, there is one picture of a warrior astride a horse in a fringed leather tunic with bow and arrow aimed at bison. I have never heard of the Seminole as a buffalo-hunting people, but life is surprising. Overall, it's a good effort of looking at Seminole cultures and is a great contribution to the history of African-Americans who found a home with the Seminole people.
