Makoons

Makoons by Louise Erdrich, 156 pages

“Named for the Ojibwe word for little bear, Makoons and his twin, Chickadee, have traveled with their family to the Great Plains of 1860s Dakota Territory. There they must learn to become buffalo hunters and once again help their people make a home in a new land. But Makoons has had a vision that foretells great challenges -- challenges that his family may not be able to overcome.” This series contains plenty of adventure and a lot of fun but heartache as well.  These are good for kids who like historical fiction and have an interest in Native American history especially.
