Gr 3-6-A pounding drum calls across the centuries to nine-year-old Louis, a young member of the Pend Oreille tribe. He is a grass dancer, and Eagle Drum chronicles his life and experiences on the powwow circuit. Crum simultaneously provides some insight into aspects of Native American dance, such as traditional v. intertribal dancing and women's participation. However, it's the page after page of vivid, full-color photographs that will catch readers' attention. This title pulsates with action as it depicts this ``part sacred and part social'' dance gathering and proves that ``a powwow is a mix of color, movement, and good feelings.'' A partial listing of powwows by state concludes this excellent effort by a first-time author.-Colleen McDougall, Kayenta Boarding School, AZ (c) Copyright 2010.

Louis Pierre is a Native-American, nine-year-old boy. Like many kids his age, Louis enjoys Little League and basketball, but he is above all a dancer. Louis learned traditional Native-American dancing from his grandfather, Pat, who believes that dancing is an essential part of their heritage. Talking about a time when traditional dancing was discouraged by US government officials, Pat says: ``Those were some bad times...when your culture is taken away like that, you lose your self-esteem.'' Now Native-American culture is being rejuvenated by young dancers like Louis. At powwows Louis competes. This year, he will try grass dancing--a recently popularized, fluid form of movement. He lovingly designs and helps to make his costume, and he and his family travel to the large, intertribal powwow. After watching the other contests, Louis then prepares for his own. He wins second place for his interpretation of the grass dance and gets ten dollars plus recognition for his talent and effort. Louis looks forward to many more years of dancing on the powwow trail. (A partial list of powwows that take place in US and Canada is included.) A superb photo-essay from newcomer Crum, although the spectacular sound and motion of Native-American dance can't be captured in words. (Nonfiction. 6-11)

Gr. 4-7. Nine-year-old Louis Pierre, a member of the Pend Oreille tribe on the Flathead Reservation in Montana, has been dancing since he was four. Combining history with information about tribal dance and Pierre's family, Crum presents the preparation and performance of the powwow dances in colorful photographs and detailed descriptions. Despite the occasional flowery language, Crum's narrative provides more depth and cultural context than Ancona's Powwow (1993), but the visual impact is lessened by the small scale of many of the photos. A good resource for learning about and comparing present-day cultural traditions. ~--Karen Hutt
