I bought this for my 5th grade students. I like how it is written by Native people and that it's honest and straightforward. The kids will understand - it'  not too much and it's not sugar coated. It's the perfect amount of information for 10 year olds to get them wondering more about the topic. It will help the kids become curious and it let's students know that Native people are still here.
