Black Eagle Child by Ray A. Young Bear, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

A classic of Native American literature, Black Eagle Child uses a rich mix of verse, prose narrative, and letters to tell Edgar Bearchild's journey to adulthood. Although the backdrop of much of Young Bear's novel may be familiar - the conflicts over race, drugs, Vietnam and others that gripped America in the fifties, sixties, and seventies - Bearchild recounts his coming-of-age story from a distinct vantage point, as a member of the Mesquakie nation. From his childhood delight in Jell-O tohis induction into the faith of his elders, Bearchild's journey is a uniquely American one. | Black Eagle Child by Ray A. Young Bear, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
