Runaway Papoose (Dramatic Reading)

Grace Moon

Little Nah-tee has been separated from her family in the American southwest desert! Brave and full of life, she accepts the help of Moyo. They have exciting and wondrous adventures in their quest for her people. Published in 1928, Grace Moon writes of the people she dearly loved and lived with. The word “papoose,” being Algonquin and Narragansett, would not have been used by the Puebloan or Navajo peoples, but this novel is a respectful tale that is a refreshing departure from the racism of Moon’s era. This was a 1929 Newbery Honor Book. - Summary by Lynette Caulkins
