Makoons
This Week’s Book Snippet:
November is Native American Heritage Month. This month we celebrate the culture and heritage of the first Americans.
Named for the Ojibwe word for little bear, Makoons and his twin, Chickadee, have traveled with their family to the Great Plains of Dakota Territory.
There they must learn to become buffalo hunters and once again help their people make a home in a new land. But Makoons has had a vision that foretells great challenges—challenges that his family may not be able to overcome.
Based on Louise Erdrich’s own family history.
Listen to Katie from the Glendale Library read from Makoons by Louise Erdrich.
