Even Bunting's thoughtful story Cheyenne Again depicts a fictional boy who experiences a very real experience of the late 1800s. Young Bull is taken from his family and forced to attend an off-reservation Indian boarding school. Piece by piece, Young Bull is stripped of his Cheyenne Indian heritage and forced to look, act, and speak as the white man does. His heart aches to return to the life and land that he once knew. Only in his dreams can Young Bull return to the golden plain of Cheyenne again. Readers of this book will likely feel strong empathy for Young Bull as he struggles to maintain himself in this new world he does not desire to be in. The story flows so naturally and poetically that one can almost feel, smell, and hear the Indian life that Young Bull describes- "The beds in rows. No huddle of my brothers, warm around. No smell of smoke. No robe spread on the ground (pg. 11). This story is an amazing insight into the Native American boarding schools of the past. Students will be shocked that Young Bull's experience actually happened to Indian children in history. It could spark further historical investigation as well as discussions about culture. Even students today could connect to this story, as preserving one's heritage in a new country can be difficult. This is an excellent book!
