Your personal response to the book: This was an excellent picture book infused with Montana's history. I would like to have a copy for our school's collection. Curricular connections: The curricular connections include Native Americans, history and geography. A TL could have this book available for a Native American unit in Montana. Joseph Bruchac, always one of my favorite children's book authors, here turns his attention to the story of the buffalo, and how one Salish family began the struggle to save them from extinction. Witness to a time when the buffalo roamed the western plains in massive herds, Sam Walking Coyote and his family began rescuing and raising orphaned buffalo calves in the 1870s, after white hunters had all but wiped them out. Determined to ensure the safety of these few survivors, Walking Coyote decided to lead their small band over the mountains, to safety on the Flathead Reservation. Here they eventually formed the nucleus of the Pablo-Allard herd, which was to prove so instrumental in reestablishing the species... Of Abenaki heritage, Bruchac is a prolific author who has explored issues relevant to Native North America through many different genres. Buffalo Song, a lovely picture book illustrated by Bill Farnsworth, is a welcome addition to his body of work. Based upon the oral tradition of the Salish-Pend d’Oreille nation, Bruchac's narrative is both engaging and thoughtful, with enough excitement to involve young readers, and enough substance that they will learn something. Highly recommended. This book cary on a timeless message. This book has beautiful pictures in it. I think this is a great book to teach students about Indians. I would defiantly recomend this book to any one that is interested in learning about Indian storires. I would defiantly read this book to my students because i feel it is important to teach studnets about diifferent stories from different cultures. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
