From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-A pounding drum calls across the centuries to nine-year-old Louis, a young member of the Pend Oreille tribe. He is a grass dancer, and Eagle Drum chronicles his life and experiences on the powwow circuit. Crum simultaneously provides some insight into aspects of Native American dance, such as traditional v. intertribal dancing and women's participation. However, it's the page after page of vivid, full-color photographs that will catch readers' attention. This title pulsates with action as it depicts this "part sacred and part social" dance gathering and proves that "a powwow is a mix of color, movement, and good feelings." A partial listing of powwows by state concludes this excellent effort by a first-time author.

Gr. 4-7. Nine-year-old Louis Pierre, a member of the Pend Oreille tribe on the Flathead Reservation in Montana, has been dancing since he was four. Combining history with information about tribal dance and Pierre's family, Crum presents the preparation and performance of the powwow dances in colorful photographs and detailed descriptions. Despite the occasional flowery language, Crum's narrative provides more depth and cultural context than Ancona's Powwow (1993), but the visual impact is lessened by the small scale of many of the photos. A good resource for learning about and comparing present-day cultural traditions. Karen Hutt
