"Kaya
Shows the Way, A Sister Story" about a Native American Girl
Growing up in 1764 in Early America
 "Summertime means salmon fishing at thundering
Celilo Falls -- and horse racing, games, parades, feasting and
dancing, too! Kaya loves to join in the fun, but she's also got
something serious on her mind: searchiing for her lost sister,
Speaking Rain. Thousands of Indian families and friends gather
at Celilo Falls each summer, and Kaya hopes that someone may
have word of her sister. Kaya's older sister, Brown Deer, is
on her mind, too. Brown Deer will soon marry Cut Cheek, a thougth
thak makes Kaya both glad and sad. She lost one sister when she
had to leave Speaking Rain with the enemies. Now will she lose
Brown Deer?"
"Kaya
Shows the Way, A Sister Story"
is the fifth story in the newest American Girls books. This series
of beautifully illustrated books is about growing up as a Nez
Perce girl - before America became a country. This will be especially
of interest to people in the Pacific Northwest who are familiar
with this country along the Columbia River. Some may even remember
Celilo falls before the great dams on the river. At the back
of the book is a "A
Peek into the Past" that includes photos, drawings, and
sketches about people, places and things during this time. Recommended
for Ages 7 and up.
