Readers discover the many reasons Native Americans moved across the continent. In doing so, they learn important facts that support essential social studies curriculum topics. From the Trail of Tears to the Battle of the Little Bighorn, important milestones in Native American history are addressed through accessible text, historical images, and relevant primary sources.
