Rezensionen
"Utterly vital in its historical prowess, essential in its portraits of lived experiences."--Kirkus (starred review)

"Ojibwe author Treuer unblinkingly depicts 'Indian life rather than Indian death' in this young readers adaptation. . . Using approachable language and eye-opening firsthand accounts, Treuer unfailingly puts Indigenous people at the center of their own history to prove that 'Indian cultures are not dead and our civilizations have not been destroyed.' --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

[T]his one is special, for it offers an examination of an essential subject: life in Indigenous America. The Ojibwe author seamlessly addresses his material in a hybrid fashion that s part history, part reportage, and part memoir, and Keenan ensures all is accessible to a younger audience [F]ascinating. . . excellent. . . The history related here is necessary for all Americans to understand, and Treuer s personalized accounting ensures that readers will learn it with both their minds and hearts. --Booklist (starred review)

"A well-researched approach to North American history that features personal narratives from Indigenous-Americans."--School Library Journal
