THE MIAMIS!THE MIAMIS! Nancy Niblack Baxter. Hardbound, Dust Jacket, 1987, Illus., 108 pp.
Asondaki, a 13-year-old Miami boy, and other Miamis including Little Turtle, share their ghost tales, war stories, and myths at a campfire in 1785. Indian folk-tales, customs and the history of this most feared and famous of Midwestern tribes all come to life through the voices of Indiana people themselves. Wonderful illustrations by Richard Day. "Delightful. At last the children of Indiana have a soundly researched, meaty book on the Miamis. Indian resources are difficult to find, but this one really meets the need."� Dani Pfaff, Director Broadsides program, Indiana Historical Bureau "I loved it. I couldn't put it down,"�Lora Siders, Director Miami Nation of Indians in Indiana. PL-13 |
