Sweetgrass Basket by Marlene Carvell

This book only took me a few days to read. It's about 250 pages and written in stanzas like a poem. It's the story of two sisters who have been sent to the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, the nation's first off-reservation school for Native Americans. Inspired by true events from the author's ancestors who attended the school, Sweetgrass Basket is a poignant glimpse into the lives of children who were taken from their homes in the late 1800s.
