The Mohawk (New True Book) (School & Library Binding)

by Jill Duvall (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-- An introduction to two tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy (also known as the Five Nations). As is typical of this series, the text presents cultural features and an overview of historical highlights. However, the organization of material and sequence of events are not as clear as in earlier volumes, particularly in Mohawk . Because the Mohawk and Seneca nations are so closely related, some of the information is virtually duplicated. The complex relationships between the U. S. government and these two tribes (and all the Iroquois, for that matter) are difficult to convey to this age group, but certain key points--such as their influence on ideas in the U. S. Constitution--are mentioned and may spark interest in perceptive students. Full-color photographs are sharp and of excellent quality, but don't always reflect the text. The major strengths here are the concluding chapters on these nations today, accompanied by current and accurate photos. Readers are left with a sense that these people are contemporaries as well as ``Indians''--no small accomplishment. --Lisa Mitten, University of Pittsburgh, PA
