Four-hundred-twenty-five books are reviewed in this superb collection. A Second Look, Native Americans in Childrens Books gives a thorough examination of the books as a guide for parents, teachers, librarians, and administrators interested in books for children. Anyone involved in selecting books will find this guide useful in working through the maze of available materials. Andie Peterson, one of the few women to be awarded an Eagle Feather, has provided a meaningful criteria to help in judging books. She outlines ways for objectively studying books to draw conclusions as to the suitability for the reader. She writes candidly about books filled with stereotypes, hurtful images, and damaging text and illustrations. She writes eloquent, glowing reviews of the books that are real treasures. She writes: On a daily basis, children must face the hidden curriculum that lets them know where they fit in, whether they can achieve their goals, whether they even dare to dream. An overwhelming part of that hidden curriculum begins with books that are more narrative and illustrations; they are books that carry a message of politics and values. Andie advises that in selecting Native American books, the non-Native child must be considered, also. She counsels that hurtful books set in motion attitudes of prejudice that persist for years. She states that she has reviewed books with older copyrights because they are still on the shelves in libraries and available via the Internet. She says reading the older books helps to understand how adults have formed ideas about Native people. She says: After all, if its in a book in the library, people believe it to be true. Its time to disturb the peace and end the ritual of damage. A Second Look, Native Americans in Childrens Books By Andie Peterson

In a land of legends and mighty warriors, one fatal gunshot changes the course of a nation. Torn between two races, a white man raised by Blackfeet Indians is propelled across the vast, unexplored Northwest wilderness of the early 1800s in this historically accurate adventure of a desperate mission to defend his adopted people from invasion by ruthless white fur traders.

Originally published in 1950, No Survivors was the first of Will Henry’s many novels based on historic incident. In it he shows what General Custer’s lonely stand and final moments at the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn might have been like, militarily and emotionally. Though the history books say that only the horse Comanche escaped alive, Will Henry creates one other survivor, Colonel John Clayton—and he was doomed, too. The fictional Civil War officer who once saved Custer’s life, Clayton leaves a journal describing his later career on the western frontier. As a civilian scout for the U.S. Army, he tries to head off the Fetterman Massacre. He is captured by Crazy Horse and taken into the Oglala Sioux tribe. For nine years he lives as an Indian—the adopted son of Crazy Horse, an intimate of Sitting Bull, and the husband of a medicine woman. He rides with the Indians against the white invaders, but by 1876 he has to make a choice about who he really is.

There’s No Business Like The Hunting Business The Hunting Business is a deep dive look at the business-side of hunting. This is not a typical hunting adventure book, but through his thirty-six years of full-time experience in the hunting industry, Greg Simons weaves plenty of interesting, anecdotal information throughout the pages of this seminal work, making this an enjoyable and interesting read about a business that stirs the imagination of many. Topics include basic business principles, peculiar features of this business, risk management, marketing, harvest photography, taxidermy and meat considerations, customer service strategies, lodging and culinary recommendations, and many other key components of building a successful hunting business. Simons also provides an honest introspection on conservation dilemmas, public perceptions, the need to play the advocacy game more intelligently, and the role that NGOs play in the space of conservation and hunting. The final chapter takes a hard look at the future of hunting and Simons shares some candid concerns, while also identifying some encouraging signs that provide hope for tomorrow’s generation of stakeholders. There’s plenty of valuable information built into the pages of The Hunting Business that can be applied to non-hunting related businesses and can also be applied to various challenges that everyone faces throughout life’s journeys. Hunters, outfitters, private landowners, wildlife biologists, nature lovers, volunteers, entrepreneurs, environmental activists, college professors, and college students will all find The Hunting Business to be a great read and useful resource.
