Flying with the eagle, racing the Great Bear: tales from native North America
In every American Indian culture, there comes a time in each boy's life when he must walk forth on his own, leave his home and the protection of his family to prove to himself and to his people that he can survive and grow. Traditional stories passed down from father to son were often used to offer examples of the positive qualities of manhood. Flying with the Eagle, Racing the Great Bear is a continent-spanning collection of sixteen such thrilling tales in which young men must face great enemies, find the strength and endurance within themselves to succeed, and take their place by the side of their elders.Joseph Bruchac is a traditional storyteller and writer whose work often reflects his Abenaki Indian ancestry and his lifelong interest in American Indian history and culture. Winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Native Writers Circle of the Americas and Storyteller of the Year from the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers, he is the author of more than one hundred and twenty books for children and adults.

Rez ball
\"These days, Tre Brun is happiest when he is playing basketball on the Red Lake Reservation high school team--even though he can't help but be constantly gut-punched with memories of his big brother, Jaxon, who died in an accident. When Jaxon's former teammates on the varsity team offer to take Tre under their wing, he sees this as his shot to represent his Ojibwe rez all the way to their first state championship. This is the first step toward his dream of playing in the NBA, no matter how much the odds are stacked against him. But stepping into his brother's shoes as a star player means that Tre can't mess up. Not on the court, not at school, and not with his new friend, gamer Khiana, who he is definitely not falling in love with. After decades of rez teams almost making it, Tre needs to take his team to state. Because if he can live up to Jaxon's dreams, their story isn't over yet\" -- Page [2] of cover.

Winter Counts
From birth Jiji Kin, or Light Hair, was not only physically different, but also demonstrated a memorable rightful character. Anyone who has spent time among the buffalo that provided everything for the survival of the Lakota would know that the smallest business part of the buffalo is its \"ass.\" Here Weiden forces a comparison and ends up with an ineffective stereotypical use of the cultural icon. Later, when trying to come up with collateral for a bail bondsman for Nathans release from juvenile detention, Virgil thinks about the possibility of using three small pieces of inherited allotment land that is in BIA trust; he deems that unusable.
