Ostentively written for children, Terri Cohlene captures the spirit of a Cheyenne legend explaining the origin of stars. She then goes it one better by compiling an entertaining and educational perspective on the historical and cultural aspects of the Cheyene civilization. After reading her marvelous tale I was surprised to find the entire last half serving as a text book to further educate me. I learned something reading this and so can you.
Quillworker is a great text by Terri Cohlene. It is part of a series of Native American legends and depicts traditional Native American values. Each text in this series concludes with a nonfiction section on the tribe featured in the legend. This is a great piece of multicultural literature for the classroom.
Love it!! Great teachings!
