Edited by award-winning and bestselling author Cynthia Leitich
Smith, this collection of intersecting stories by both new and
veteran Native writers bursts with hope, joy, resilience, the
strength of community, and Native pride.
Native families from
Nations across the continent gather at the Dance for Mother Earth
Powwow in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
In a high school gym
full of color and song, people dance, sell beadwork and books, and
celebrate friendship and heritage. Young protagonists will meet
relatives from faraway, mysterious strangers, and sometimes one
another (plus one scrappy rez dog).
They are the heroes
of their own stories.
