Book Review by Brittany:  She said "I really enjoyed reading this book", here is what she had to say about it...

Our Stories Remember: American Indian History, Culture and Values through Storytelling by Joseph Bruchac is a great book that emphasizes the power and significance of story telling.

For instance, Native America is made up of many cultures. As a result, there isn't just one history of the American Indian but in fact there are countless histories. These particular histories are not stagnant, but are actually growing and changing which adds new layers of growth, like rings on a great tree.

Moreover, stories were and still remain important, posing as vital tools for teaching lessons in strength as well as the values and traditions of both the young and old. This storytelling practice allows the people to understand what was, what is and what could be on this path - this journey that we call life!
