Synopsis
Edited by award-winning and bestselling author Cynthia Leitich Smith, this collection of intersecting stories by both new and veteran Native writers bursts with hope, joy, resilience, the strength of community, and Native pride. Native families from Nations across the continent gather at the Dance for Mother Earth Powwow in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In a high school gym full of color and song, people dance, sell beadwork and books, and celebrate friendship and heritage. Young protagonists will meet relatives from faraway, mysterious strangers, and sometimes one another (plus one scrappy rez dog). They are the heroes of their own stories.

    Wow! The bible was described as like new. This isn’t quite accurate. It’s condition was new. It is in perfect in the box without a scratch condition. The price is better then you can find anywhere else too. The shipping was fast. I couldn’t recommend this seller more. The seller even had a best offer option but the price and condition was already amazing. I am going to keep this seller in mind when I’m looking to make a future bible purchase. I don’t have much more to say but I want to give more
