Athletes and Sports: American Indian Heritage
These books tell the stories of Native athletes, from the legendary Jim Thorpe and Louis Sockalexis to more contemporary stars such NHL player Jordin Tootoo and Olympic wheelchair racer Cheri Becerra-Madsen.
Also included are the stories of kids from different historical time periods who can't get enough of their favorite game — whether it's basketball, soccer, lacrosse, or hockey — and the lengths to which they're willing to go to play.
