This book is written from the Navajo point of view, which can be beneficial for readers who want an understanding of the struggle the Navajo went through. This book could be used for upper elementary students and above when learning about the side of Native American history not presented in textbooks.

It is a story about a part of history in the Arizona, and describe the Native American how to protect their homeland.

This book tells the story of the Navajo tribes which were forced to leave their homelands and relocate to a reservation in the late 19th century. It was produced by the National Geographic Society and as such is extremely accurate and detailed. However the content and format don't match; the book is shaped like a picture book with large text, but pictures are sparse and the language is quite difficult, include words in the Navajo language (these include explanations, but not pronunciation). The book would also benefit from headings within each chapter to make information easier to find, as well as to break up the text a bit more. Although this is a well done book, the intended audience may be too daunted to get much out of it. Grades 4 - 6. ( )
