Synopsis

Summary

The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee is a story of Native American resilience and reinvention, adapted for young adults from the adult nonfiction book of the same name. Since the late 1800s, it has been believed that Native American civilization has been wiped from the United States. This book tells a different story. Native American culture is far from defeated—if anything, it is thriving as much today as it was one hundred years ago.
