Review

"Every heavily-illustrated book in the series includes similar chapters on family life, spirituality, interactions with white men and the environment, and existence in today's world. All include histories of broken treaties, inhumane conditions, and restrictive, poverty-ridden reservations. Nevertheless, each has a unique story to tell. All books in the series are attractive, affordable, and written on a level appropriate for upper elementary to high school. The photos and interesting sidenotes complement well-written text."
-- VOYA (June 2001) (VOYA )

"This is a useful resource for classrooms studying American history and native peoples."
-- School Library Journal (August 2002) (School Library Journal )
