It's the best we've seen in a very long time and for that reason alone I think it's notable. Worth looking at. Worth considering.--Elizabeth Bird"School Library Journal (Fuse 8)" (05/28/2013)

 

The book succeeds as a general overview, especially in its emphasis on the diversity of geography, language, and culture of different Native American groups across the U.S. and Canada.
