Illustrated by
Sashay Camel.
Students enjoy a field trip to Montana's Flathead Indian Reservation. A tribal elder and a biologist teach them about the Jocko River's significance to Native American culture and the importance of its restoration and conservation. The text is wordy and the field-trip framing is awkward, but the story is useful. The illustrations of the natural world are more effective than those showing people.
