a book from my past
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I loved this book when I was young, and I still really appreciate how it presents Kit Fox's world in a way that seems so honest- the charecters really seem like people we would know instead of culturally different charecters. Its one of the few kids books about native americans that I (an anthropologist to boot) can re-read without cringing, which is pretty high praise for any children's book!
a great book

Danger and self discovery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Kit, a young Blackfoot girl, feels like she can't do anything because of the social taboos the tribe has for young women. When warriors bring back a horse, the first of its kind the tribe has ever had, driven by her curiosity she secretly visits the horse with the help of her friend and eventually learns how to ride it. Caught in the act she is banned from visiting the horse much less riding it. But when the tribe is in danger it is up to her to ride for help and defy all the rules.
