Description: The fictional account, based on historical fact, of a young Sioux Indian, describing his childhood on the plains and his experiences at the Carlisle School, where he is sent to learn the ways of the white world. Inspired by the richly detailed picture stories of the Plains Indians--sometimes drawn on ruled ledgers--this book is a visual feast that introduces children to pictographic art.
