"I always knew we were Choctaws, but as a child I never understood that we were Indians. The movies and books about Indians showed Indians on horseback. My family drove cars and pickup trucks. Movie Indians lived in teepees. We lived in modern houses. Indians in books and on television hunted with bows and arrows. My father and my uncles hunted, too, with shotguns, but mostly they fished." — From Tim Tingle's essay "How Much Should We Tell Them" at the back of Saltypie

"This book is exceptional." — Debbie Reese
