Here is another book by

About The Main Characters:

Bi’a: Celou’s mother a strong Indian.
Mu’mbic`: Celou’s baby brother.
Jean-Paul: Celou’s foolish little brother.
Crow People: A very bad tribe that always’s has trouble with Celou’s
tribe.
What I Think About This Book:
This is another okay
book. I would check out a lot more books before I would come to this one.
From The Book:
Where is your man? the Crow
was signing.
Not Far, Celou saw her mother
sign back. Just over there.
She pointed in the direction of the big camp.
One of the Crow laughed a brittle, short sound. He said something in his own
language, then made a gesture that Celou knew all too well. Blackfoot.
I would recommend this series of books for youth girls that like
history. (I am obviously not a big fan of history, but it’s good if you do)
Enjoy,
