I bought this book for my 9 year old daughter who had read it several times at school and loved it so much. The book we received was in good condition. My daughter was especially excited that the author had signed it.
As an enrolled tribal member of the Ho-Chunk Nation this is a great book to teach about Native history that is woven with United States History. This book does have a couple of inaccuracies, but for the majority of the book it is very accurate. This book has given me the oppurtunity to create a unit for the local school districts that I work with in providing an accurate account of our history and the real struggle to survive. I was able to include the leaders at that time and their role in the removals on both sides with the Ho-Chunk leaders, and the American officials. I would reccomend this to any teacher that is looking to include Native History with in their classrooms that has factual information.
Used this story during Native American history units with my 4th grade class for many years. Strikes home valuable lessons for young children.
