Coming Home kindle cloud

Westward Expansion and the later practice of removing native children from their homes and placed in boarding schools is at the center of COMING HOME The author s grandfather was one of these children who was given a new American name punished for using tribal languages and fully immersed in Western culture This book told side by side in English and the written form of one of the three Hopi languages pays homage to those who endured this forcible education and tells of efforts to revive not only the native tongue but celebrations art and COMING HOME is written as a narrative and focuses on the grandfather s love of planting and carving and does not include any graphic details of abuses that may have occurred at the boarding school referenced Back matter further explains the boarding schools details the steps in creating the low relief carvings used as illustrations and includes notes from the translator about her work teaching Hopi children the language of their history Terrific book representing a population that is seldom found in children s literature but should likely be shelved in the Dewey 900s along with other non fiction books covering the post Westward Expansion timeframe rather than in the picture book collection.
