About this book

Washakie - The Little Indian Boy, by Karen Lynch HarleySummaryWashakie, a young Haliwa-Saponi Indian boy, actively engages with his grandma as she recounts his favorite story, the "Bear in the Woods." This tale features Running Deer, a young boy very similar to Washakie. Running Deer's energy and curiosity to join his brothers and father in the tribal hunt leads him to an encounter with a Momma Bear and her cub in the woods. The story reflects the rich life and culture of the Red Earth People (the Haliwa-Saponi Indian tribe), and their connection to Mother Earth and Great Spirit. Running Deer and Washakie share the experience of learning to listen to their elders and respect the order of the natural world around them. Bilingual - English/ Tutelo-Saponi.
