4.0
I had no idea that some tribes were signed out of existence. This book is about a fictional girl in one of those tribes. Based on a real girl though. You get to follow Regina as she and her family move from what was their home on a reservation in Oregon, to California to start over. Trying to live as "Indian no more." For the first time in her life, she has to face issues like racism both toward herself and her new friends.
I found this book to be an excellent read for myself and would also recommend it for my younger children. I loved that it opened my eyes to issues I didn't even know existed. This book also included an author's note after that showed her personal history and some pictures. That personal touch was just wonderful to me. Made the story feel that much more real, even though it was fictionalized.
