"After writing this narrative I realized the power and potential this story carries to not only share the account of Native Americans; but also open the door to a new dialogue and understanding of cultural diversity like never before. That is why I'm so excited to share this story across the country and beyond. I think it's imperative this book is in our school system, grade eight to college level. It is as entertaining as it is educational. It is a book for our generation and takes us bravely forward to new possibilities."
