Age: 2nd-5th grade
Culture: Inuvialuit (Banks Island, Canada)

Based off of Margaret Pokiak-Fenton's own experiences (and a sequel to When I Was Eight), we are brought into the tough reintroduction of a Native American child back into her home life after 2 years at a missionary school. Mature themes such as family rejection and cultural differences make this book most suitable for an older audience. The text flows well making this great for a read-aloud introduction to a section on Native Americans, giving this piece of history a personal feel.
