Welcome to the world of the Choctaw. From their 'breath of death' blowguns to their furious games of stickball, they are a fascinating tribe. These Natvie Americans learned to tame the spirit dogs and honor the bone pickers, carry cradleboards and weave beautiful patterned baskets. Join them as they dance for days in hope of good harvests or trudge through the Trail of Tears to a new home far away. This is the world of the Choctaw - and this book lets you discover what makes them special.
