I would use this book during social studies. I would use it with 3rd to 5th grade. I would use it as a read aloud, to better comprehension. However, I think by fifth students would be able to read it on their own. I would use it to compare and contrast the five tribes discussed in the book. Each story gives insight to the daily lives of the tribes. I would use it for a geography lesson as well. Students could complete a map based on where each tribe lived in the United States. I would use it to teach a lesson about Native Americans, because it allows you to gain insight on how their society's functioned. During a unit on culture, I would use this book to model Native American culture. ( )

This is a boy with five short stories about different Indian tribes. The Comanches, Mohicans, Navajos,Hopis, and Mandan tribes are all real tribes, but the storys with the children are fictional. The stories are historical experiences a child might go through hundreds of years ago.
The illustrations are done in watercolor, and at the back of the book is a describtion of the tribes mentioned with pictures done in watercolor. This a great book for insight into Native American life.

A teacher could use this book in doing role play in the classroom. Another activity might be to make a compare and contrast to how American Indians lived then and now.
