Reviews

[Linda Hagedorn]

The book clearly shares the result of Europeans coming to the Americas. The author takes us into portions of the heart and mind of Native American history and present life.

[Annette]

In 1975, Lincoln and four of his students take a summer road trip from Los Angeles through Arizona, New Mexico, Nebraska, to the Dakotas - - home of his youth. They search for understanding and meaning in contemporary Indian life; identifying the continuing struggles and tensions between Indians and whites. The book is also a journal of self-discovery for Kenneth Logan and his students; one of them Al Logan Slagle, a Cherokee. (lj)

I enjoyed the information, the description of the landscape, and the stories - but the six main characters (Ken, Logan, etc) bored me thoroughly.

[Carol Keefer]

This book and Native American culture is a blessing.
