Synopsis

"In one of the few young adult books about growing up Native American today, teenagers from the Mohawk, Anishnabe (Ojibway), Quinault, Shinnecock, Cherokee, and Pueblo peoples speak candidly about family, school, community, dating, religion, sports, work, etc. Many are honor students, and their voices are upbeat, although almost all tell of some family and friends with drug and alcohol problems. Teens everywhere will recognize the conflict in living between two cultures: the struggle to stay close to your roots but also to be part of the mainstream. We need more contemporary books like this."-Booklist, March 1996
