[.ca] 365 Days Of Walking The Red Road: The Native American ... (ISBN 1580628494)



You gotta love Terri Jean:
I have been a big fan of Terri Jean's work since she started her column, The Native Truth. I was really happy to learn that she finally wrote a book, though I was hoping it was more of an "straight-talking, in-your-face" cultural lesson that she usually hands out. So in that respect, this book was a disappointment because I wanted something harder and with more info. But I read this book anyway and really liked it. Though it's kinda fluffy and has is more about quotes and trivia and things like that, I still thought it was well put together and inspirational. A lot of my friends (mostly teachers) enjoyed it and took a lot from it. But next time I really hope to see something harder and more like her column. Terri Jean loves to tell it like it is - or at least how she sees it - so come on TJ! Write a companion book that's gusty and real and I'm sure we'll all rally around it!


So good, I kept it for myself:
I have a friend who collects Native American books and I thought this would be a nice gift for her. When I got the book I looked in it and was real surprised at how much information was in there. It's alot! I learned alot just in the first month. I learned about Native American people I never knew existed and history of things I didnt know happened. I think teachers would also like this book because theres so much stuff in it to tell to kids. Anyway I bought her another copy and have this little gem by my computer desk so each day I can learn something new.


Neat book. Lots of info.:
I really like this book. It's full of stuff I didnt know. Every day there is a quote that is positive or just plain interesting. Its like a daily history lesson. I couldnt put it down.


Cute book. Cute gift.:
I thought this book was great. I met Terri Jean before and heard her speak and have been a fan of her Native Truth column for years so when she put out a book, I almost ran to the store to get it. I think this is a great way to get to know Native people and a bit about their history and is a great introduction for kids and novices. It has loads of information (brief bits) and introduces me to many Native people I didnt know even existed. Some quotes were so inspirational and so powerful, I know then now word by word. It's a great way to feel connected to my long lost Native ancestors and I cant wait to read the rest of her books that I've heard she's writing. I'll always be one of her biggest fans.


A Great Native American Introduction:
I thought this book was a great introduction into Native history - and a great intro of the many powerful, brave and heroic leaders of various Native tribes. I've learned so much that I now wish to learn more about these people. And what a inspirational book! I recommend it to anyone - especially those in need of a personal gift! (Find her on the web and she'll autograph it!) This will be high on my holiday gift list!!
