In this award-winning sequel to Chickadee, acclaimed author Louise
Erdrich continues her celebrated Birchbark House series with the story
of an Ojibwe family in nineteenth-century America.
Named for the Ojibwe word for little bear, Makoons and his twin,
Chickadee, have traveled with their family to the Great Plains of Dakota
Territory.
There they must learn to become buffalo hunters and once again help
their people make a home in a new land. But Makoons has had a vision
that foretells great challenges--challenges that his family may not be
able to overcome.
Based on Louise Erdrich's own family history, this fifth book in the
series features black-and-white interior illustrations, a note from the
author about her research, and a map and glossary of Ojibwe terms.
