About the Book: Makoons
Named for the Ojibwe word for little bear, Makoons and his twin, Chickadee, have
traveled with their family to the Great Plains of Dakota Territory. There they
must learn to become buffalo hunters and once again help their people make a
home in a new land. But Makoons has had a vision that foretells great
challenges—challenges that his family may not be able to overcome. Based on
Louise Erdrichs own family history, this fifth book in the series features
black-and-white interior illustrations, a note from the author about her
research, and a map and glossary of Ojibwe terms.
