Summary:"When the kids on the school bus call her "Rez kid!" the girl just wants to get home. Safe and happy on the reservation, the girl beads with her mother, harvests medicines with her nóhkom, gardens with her aunty, and rides horseback with her moshum. Each elder offers advice, but the girl insists on coming up with her own way to connect with the other kids. This is a story about home and community and the power of sharing what we have. An author's note at the beginning gives a brief history of reservations/reserves, touching on the challenges and the joys of living there."--
