This book does a
great job about
describing some
of the traditional
songs that the
Menominee tribe

If the students do

need to be more

This story
would be great
in teaching
students not
only about
Native
American
culture but
different
stories that
were told for
different tribes.
This story also
shows the
importance of
smoke hold and that is now why ravens are black as smoke instead of as white as
snow.

Comments: This book would be very good in showing students different stories that
specific tribes told their people. I feel this book would be a great book to describe
different Native American cultures but also different stories that children may not
have heard.
