Description

By Sharon Brunner

A tale of betrayal, survival and resiliency.

Shadow Travelers presents a revolutionary view behind the challenges many Native Americans have faced throughout the history of this country. Fear, greed and the ideals set forth by “Manifest Destiny” were the driving forces behind the various acts of genocide. The remaining members of the indigenous population were enslaved by self-serving coercion and unyielding legislation. The story of these resilient people is told in two ways in this creative non-fiction book. Eagle and Coyote provide a more personal viewpoint of the atrocities experienced by the Native Americans such as the implementation of the 1836 Treaty of Washington and the boarding school legislation. Travel through time as Eagle and Coyote explore and reveal the history of the Anishanaabeg (Original People).
