This book captivated me. It had me stuck from start to finish, and I read it multiple times. It's the story of a young girl's journey on a Native American forced migration route. It was simply magnificent.

Wonderful and heartfelt book. I read this a long time ago, and I remember enjoying it.
Incredible account of Life for Native Americans that lived in the Grand Canyon are of the United States. A realistic view of their lifestyle, culture, and habits. We live such a life of pampered luxury, it was a real eye opener.
Newberry Award Honor Book
One lovely spring day, fourteen-year-old Bright Morning and his friend Running Bird took their sheep to pasture. The sky was clear blue against the red buttes of the Canyon de Chelly, and the fields and orchards of the Navahos promised a rich harvest. Bright Morning was happy as she gazed across the beautiful valley that was the home of her tribe. She turned when Black Dog barked, and it was then that she saw the Spanish slavers riding straight toward her.
This Newberry Honor winning book is great to learn about some of the lifestyles of Native Americans
