While advertised as an untold biography of Red Cloud, and it does definitely touch on his life, I would say this is more of a history book. Interesting to read, but a bit dry at times.

Poetry and prose from students at Red Cloud Indian school. Some really good writing with raw emotions and wonderful illustrations.

Martha Tom knows she's not supposed to cross Bok Chitto, but she does one day in search of blackberries. Martha Tom hides behind a bush when she hears someone and soon she is discovered by a tall slave. He instructs his son, Little Mo, to help Martha Tom get home. A friendship begins between Martha Tom, Little Mo and his family.

A unique and wonderful story about friendship and freedom. It is based on Choctaw lore and I thought it was a great story with good illustrations.

A six-year-old boy gets stung by a bee and goes to his grandmother, who calls his hurt "saltypie". It brings back a memory from when she was younger and first moved into her home. A boy had thrown a rock at her which caused her to blood. Her two-year-old saw the red on her facing, thinking it was something else, tasted it and called it saltypie.

This is a great picture book that helps to teach about modern Indians and some of the bad treatment was/is experienced.
