native american July 25, 2008
This was a great book. It was purchased for my grandchildren however,
I liked it just the same.
A fantastic read July 23, 2008
This is a wonderful read for third - sixth grade children but also something interesting for parents to read to children much younger. This is a great method of Indian education for children with Cherokee ancestor of the Great Smokey Mountains. Well illustrated. The books covers 200 years from 1740 - 1838 and has a section about the rez today. There is also a Cherokee syllabary, timeline, and historical map.
It answers so many questions, questions teachers cannot; like "How did the Cherokee marry?", "What did the Cherokee eat?", "Sports teams", "Games", "Did the Cherokee scalp?", "How did they worship?", "Who was their enemy?", "What kind of jobs and tools did the Cherokee have?", and many other intriguing questions.
It is important that children learn these things the right way and not from nonsense Hollywood makes up.

A great book for kids who want to learn more about America's native cultures, or for children (like mine) who are of mixed race and want to learn more about their people and heritage. How would you have grown up in your tribe two hundred years ago? Fascinating view of early Cherokee dress, marriage customs, games, family relationships, religion and the heartbreak of The Place Where They Cried (Trail of Tears)
Great resource! April 11, 2000

This is a great resource book for students third grade and up studying about the Cherokee Indians. Lots of information set in question/answer format. What would you eat?, What would you wear?, What would you do for fun?, etc. This book contains historical information, a timeline, a Cherokee syllabary and lots of illustrations. Well done!
