Summary:
Seepeetza
experiences blatant racism by being taught to deny her Indian heritage at school.
"Her

Seepeetza
when she was at home with her family. But now that she's living at the Indian residential school her
name
is Martha Stone, and everything else about her life has changed as well. Told in the honest voice of a sixth grader, this is the story of a young Native girl forced to live in a world governed by strict nuns, arbitrary rules, and a policy against talking in her own dialect, even with her family.
Seepeetza
finds bright spots, but most of all she looks forward to summers and holidays at home."--From publisher.
