After Lionel and his sister Beatrice escape from a 1900s missionary-run school, their grandfather reintroduces them to their Blackfeet customs; they are ultimately forced to return to the school. Though some of the secondary characters seem two-dimensional, the story's protagonists and story line are compelling. Bib., glos.

Lifeways series.
Overloaded with historical background about the Navajo and their beliefs and customs, this volume gets off to a slow start. Strangely, the information about the three-hundred-mile march endured by over eight thousand Native Americans and their incarceration at Fort Sumner, New Mexico--ostensibly the book's focus--is rushed and insubstantial. The blandly written text is illustrated with maps, photos, and reproductions. Bib., ind.
