The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee is a story of Native American
resilience and reinvention, adapted for young adults from the adult
nonfiction book of the same name.
Since the late 1800s, it has been believed that Native American
civilization has been wiped from the United States. The Heartbeat of
Wounded Knee argues that Native American culture is far from
defeated--if anything, it is thriving as much today as it was one
hundred years ago.
The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee looks at Native American culture as it
exists today--and the fight to preserve language and traditions.
Adapted for young readers, this important young adult nonfiction book is
perfect educational material for children and adults alike.
