Native and indigenous peoples have suffered great injustice all over the world. However, the struggle of the American Indian is one marked with repeated prejutice and oppression often at the hands of the U.S. government. This book takes a look at some acts that have hurt various tribes in the present day United States and how these people are fighting back to protect their land and their rights. 

If you want your students to have an honest conversation about what Native Americans in the U.S. have endured, then you need to consider this book for a class discussion. Written in three short chapters, this book is a great tool to use in any fourth or fifth grade classroom. It challenges the typical sterotype that has traditionally been taught in schools and gives students an honest look at history. Brave teachers will find this book an eye-opening experience for their classrooms.
