December 4th 2011
First off, please excuse how beat up this book looks... lol, it was a used college school book, so just imagine the abuse it has seen.
This book was an assigned read in a Native American History class I took at Macon State College and probably the book I liked the most out of that class just because of the small story that really translated into a larger problem. The struggle to make Native Americans adapt and change to be white, which made no sense, seeing as it was destroying a culture. The book is touching, anger inducing, and very relevant I think when it comes to how often a dominant culture seeks to eradicate another culture just because it is different. I liked the book a lot and I appreciate my professor for assigning it.
