Sweetgrass, a 15-year-old Blackfoot girl, longs to be married like the other girls her age, and she has a young warrior in mind, Eagle-Sun. Her father feels she is too young for marriage, but over a difficult year for their tribe, which include natural disasters, encounters with white settlers, fights with other tribes, and a smallpox epidemic, she proves her courage, intelligence, and maturity. "Vivid characters bring the culture of the Dakota Indians in the 1830s to life through this richly patterned historical novel…An unusually fine first novel." — Booklist (starred review) "A masterpiece combining elements of an historical novel, a native American, a survival, and a coming-of-age novel….Will invite re-reading." — School Library Journal (starred review)
Living on the western Canadian prairie in the nineteenth century, Sweetgrass, a fifteen-year-old Blackfoot Indian girl, saves her family from a smallpox epidemic and proves her maturity to her father.

Sweetgrass
I read this book back in the 6th grade and parts of it always come back to me at weird random times...
I remember how desperately Sweetgrass longed for Eagle Sun and how hard she fought to keep her brother alive when sickness struck her tribe. The attention to detail really made her world come alive and the struggles faced by her and her tribe at this pivotal juncture in North American history were very clearly articulated.
I thought it was a wonderful story (enough that I still think about it 20+ years later!)
