This Dear America book tells the story of 13-year-old Sarah Nita, who together with other Navajos is forced to endure the 400-mile Long Walk to Fort Sumner with many casualties along the way. The picture painted is one of great suffering and sorrow, though the Navajo spirit endured despite all the humiliation and cruelty they suffered.
At the end of the book, there is a historical note by the author as well as a collection of historical photographs depicting the Navajos' way of life, their captivity in Fort Sumner, a Navajo prayer and maps. All in all, this is a riveting read about a tragic part of American history and highly recommended to those interested in history.

I loved this book. It is about a young Navajo Girl who travels on the Trail of Tears. This book is a great story showing a followable example of courage, optomisticity (Is that a word?), strength, integrity, and individual worth. It also gives a lot of interesting information. I enjoyed this book because it was easy reading but it was exciting the suspensive at the same time.

This book is about Sarah Nita and her sister . It starts out In their home a normal day. After coming back from the forest, herding their sheep closer to home, the sisters find that their family has been taken by the white men. Sarah Nita tells Sister that they need to head to tseyi, that they have family there. They travel many days and nights then finally arrive in tseyi, met by a miracle, their fathers family. Sarah Nita endures trouble as the white men come to round up the Navajos again. Everyone in the canyon is moved out for the long walk to the white mans fort. Along the way the book tells of the troubles that Sarah Nita and her family encounter, also of love stirring between her and High Jumper. When they arrive at the white mens fort they are treated with very little food and harsh conditions. I won't give away the ending for you.
I liked the book because it showed what really happened to the Navajos and so many Native Americans like them. I also liked Sarah Nita's stories and her courage too.
