Reviews
Gr 4–8—Here are detailed books on various Native American tribes and their traditions, gender roles, pastimes, foods, shelters, and more. The works are full of drama and action, with a colorful and organized design. However, the series has faults. For example, Comanche opens from the perspective of the white Parker family and uses the kidnapping of Cynthia Parker as a narrative thread, failing to provide an alternative to harmful stereotypes. In Cheyenne, amid a discussion about unemployment, the author comments, "Ironically, their reservation sits atop rich coal deposits that could be exploited and provide a profusion of much-needed jobs." This comes across as insensitive, as this is not a viable option for the Cheyenne people. VERDICT Though well documented and compelling, this series is marred by racial insensitivity.
