Summary: This book gives a brief description of the Alpache indian people. It talks about how they once were and how they now are. It also talks about their government and the way they lived and live. It talks about what their homes were like and how the people celebrated or worshiped. It talks about their religion and culture.

Personal Response: I thought that this book was going to talk more about the life of Indians from the past, but it talked more about how Indians live today on reservations. It talks about how they have maintained their culture from the past. It also talks about the transition between being nomadic and living on reservations. I thought it was interesting and the pictures supported the text.

Potential Problems: I couldn't find any potential problems in this book.

Recommended to: I would recommend this book to a child that is interested in native americans and how they live today.
