I checked this book out of the children's part of my town's library. Where were books like this, when i was buying books for my children (in Canada) for my grandchildren (in the US)??? This is a stunning book for ME AT 71. Better late than never? ( )
This book is a collection of art from different artists indigenous to North America. It has wide variety of native nations represented from all over the continent. It also has a wide variety of art represented from dancers and singers to poets and chefs. It was a great way to familiarize myself with contemporary native culture. The book is geared towards a middle grade or young adult audience, but it did not seem "dumbed" down for that age group. It does not shy away from the hard parts such as residential schools and addiction but it also represents the beauty of the culture and how culture and art can save people. ( )
An anthology great for sharing creative literature about the truth of the Native American history. This is a great book to share with students learning about culture and how a people can fight for their beliefs and community.
A perfect example of the renaissance in informational books, "Dreaming in Indian" has all the bells and whistles to lure a reader in: a modern and energetic layout, colorful images representing a variety of artistic styles, a variety of viewpoints--all first-person accounts from contemporary Native Americans in Canada and the US--presented in narrative, poetry, song, interview, memoir, etc. Each page brings you a different voice and a different visual and each is as engaging as the previous. Stories are heartfelt and take readers through the gamut of emotional responses while exploring the Roots, Battles, Medicines, and Dreamcatchers of the collective Native American experience. And, as with any cultural group, those individual experiences are wide and varied even though they share the common themes.

Every circle woven brings us closer yet...tie the last knot. No longer distraught. Our dreams will come through. Dropping the bad with the morning dew.
