From School Library Journal
Grade 6-9?"The goal of this book is to make future generations aware that Native Americans are active in today's society and making contributions for a stronger America." For each of six Indian tribes?Muscogee (Creek), Arapaho, Navajo, Hopi, Yakama, and Sioux?this title presents the story of an individual and his or her family; a description of the tribe and its customs, traditions, and history; stories and legends; and food and "fun" activities. Overall, the text is accessible to readers interested in, or somehow acquainted with, one or more of the tribes covered. But for many readers and school groups, the value of this unique book might well be as a model for similar explorations and presentations of social and/or cultural entities. Small black-and-white photographs and drawings appear throughout.?George Gleason, Department of English, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield

Review
This introduction to Native culture through real-life stories about members of different Indian tribal nations provides a solid blend of text, photos and young people’s observations; from folk stories and insights on Native arts to history. The “by kids for kids” format provides many unusual clear explanations of events. -- Midwest Book Review
