Description
Most of these sensitive, engaging tales set in Canada explore the private tragedies and triumphs of Native Americans.

The sweep of Canadian history is both broader and deeper than standard texts reveal. When Europeans first came to Canada, they did not find a wilderness; rather, they encountered a complex, rich society composed of fifty-five individual nations--the Native peoples of Canada.
