We Are the Warriors

2015 USA Regional Excellence Book Awards Finalist - How did Blake end up on a Montana Indian Reservation? There's no snowboarding on this flat prairie, all his friends are back in Bozeman for their junior year, and his dad's the school principal. Could it get much worse? The visit to Little Bighorn Battlefield doesn't help. Custer and his men were killed on these hillsides fighting the Sioux and Cheyenne, tribes who sought to protect their land and lifestyle. How much hatred and anger still remained toward white people like himself? He'd been stoked to compete in snowboarding, and hang out with friends in the Montana mountains. Now instead, he's thrust into the middle of a culture he doesn't understand, among people he doesn't know. Who does Larry Big Lip think he is, taunting him at the first Powder River High football practice? Blake's not getting shoved around by anybody.
