This is a made-up story that explains how people would have lived at this time in history. It is based around 1808 when tribal leaders were scarred by memories of Indians cheating their lands away from them when they were not allowed to read the signed treaties. It stressed what values people had during this time and how things may have changed since them. This book incorporates parts of history such as the Indian Removal Act and court cases centered around land issues.
This book, along with others about the Trail of Tears will be used for a book pass to get the students excited about the new topic we are about to study in social studies. Having multiple books on the same topic will show kids variants and different aspects of the same topic. :Like I mentioned earlier, I will integrate this literature lesson into a social studies unit at the same time.
