Excellent historical and cultural perspective, combined with an adventure story.

I bought this book for my 11-year old daughter, and ended up reading it myself. Having worked for an Indian Tribe in the NW for 15 years, I was cautious as to how well the author would capture the complex and deeply moving history. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the story itself was engaging, yet the cultural and historical elements stayed at the center. Highly reccomend...

One Strong Suquamish Girl

Daughter of Suqua provides a good account of the life and disruptions that accompanied this century's forced removal of Puget Sound's Native American children to schools far from family and tradition. It has been useful for reading groups with our classes interested in local Puget Sound history that does not sanitize the story of the native people. Teachers and others interested in authentic Puget Sound history are strongly encouraged to supplement this with Coll Thrush's history of Seattle's native peoples.

Brilliant!

The people of the Suquamish tribe are beautiful. This book is a true gem, and the cover art is absolutely beautiful and inspiring! I highly recommend it!
