Children of Native America Today
Children of Native America Today
By Yvonne Wakim Dennis and Arlene Hirschfelder
Children of Native America Today invites readers to explore Native nations, focusing on the children who live, learn, and play in tribal communities throughout the United States. These children celebrate a proud heritage, a rich culture, and a close-knit society. They participate in cultural activities such as totem pole carving, storytelling, and dancing at a powwow, as well as enjoying video games, going to school, and other contemporary pastimes.
