YA
A teenager with Mohawk ancestry fights a losing battle against his high school's Indian mascot. Pathos sometimes degenerates into bathos as the narrator of this free-verse novel makes his case for cultural sensitivity. However, his voice is almost always compelling (a mix of self-righteousness and angst), and his cause is especially current in an era of increased multiracial identification.
