(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Calvin Nicholls. Crow, who along with his grandmother has been unfairly ostracized by his fellow Seneca, learns to take up the ways of peace and becomes the repository of memory for his people. A successful interweaving of many traditional stories, which are sourced in a comprehensive author's note, this novel is handsomely decorated with full-page reproductions of paper sculpted animals and people.
