Horn Book Guide Reviews

Each compendium profiles little-known Native American men and women who have worked to improve living conditions for their people and, in many cases, for Americans in general. [cf2]Healers[cf1] has some gripping examples of how traditional healing arts and modern medical practices have coexisted, while [cf2]Reformers[cf1] introduces the varied ways Native Americans have fought back against injustice.
