Another assigned college book that I loved and have moved and stored and moved and stored for almost 20 years. Minimizing my collection.

Informative, somewhat fictionalized, account of a life lived before and during times of great change. Excellent editorial notes clarify and give welcome context to someone not familiar with Salishan culture.

I read this for my history of women in the American West class. I definitely would not have read this on my own, but it was interesting. The writing wasn't fantastic and I feel like this book only really portrayed what it was like to be a Salish Native American from a child's perspective. None of the event that took place were when she was older. It wasn't the worst read, but I had to read it really fast for class, so it made it a little bit boring since I was rushing it.
