I *really* enjoyed reading GHOST HAWK. So many thought provoking themes and the writing was breathtaking. I did find myself slowing down towards the end, which wasn't as nearly as exciting as the first half of the book but all in all found it to be a compelling read.

In reply to Debbie Reese. Yes, Debbie, she does. I don't have the book in front of me right now, so can't remember exactly which one, but it is clearly shown that Little Hawk's tribe is it's own, and several others are named also and differences are mentioned as well as animosity between them prior to and during the colonialists arrival. From what I could tell, it appeared to be well-researched and the author's note at the end as well as the timeline added to the depth of explanation. However, I will be looking forward to hearing what you think after you've read it.

Hello,

Does Cooper specify the tribe the character belongs to?

Is the tribe of the main character ever named? Not all tribes were/are the same. "Native American" suggests stereotyping, lazy writing, etc.

I can't see this being widely read in my library. Cooper's titles do well, but Native America stories tend not to. Probably should at least read this, since you liked it so much!
