From Booklist
Gr. 4^-6. Readers familiar with Hoyt-Goldsmith's Totem Pole (1990) will enjoy revisiting David, now 13, as he spends a summer at his father's boyhood home in Alaska. David, who is of mixed Native American and European heritage and a member of the Tsimshian tribe, explains the meaning of potlatch, an event that is part of a deeply rooted tradition in the life of many Northwest Coast Indians. Color photographs by Lawrence Migdale picture members of the Tsimshian tribe on Annette Island, Alaska, and capture some of the excitement and complexity involved in potlatch activities--from gift making and dancing to dedicating totem poles. The photos work nicely with the text to reveal the history, pride, and spirituality involved as the community comes together to celebrate the important event. A welcome addition to other strong books about contemporary youngsters from multicultural backgrounds by this author-photographer team. A glossary and two maps are included. Karen Morgan
