This story reveals the remarkable life of a Native American boy named Wassaja, or "Beckoning," who was kidnapped from his Yavapai tribe and sold as a slave. Adopted by an Italian photographer in 1871 and renamed Carlos Montezuma, the young boy traveled throughout the Old West, bearing witness to the prejudice against and poor treatment of Native Americans. Carlos eventually became a doctor and leader for his people, calling out for their rights. Gina Capaldi's exquisite paintings bring to life excerpts from Dr. Carlos Montezuma's own letters describing his childhood experiences. The culminating portrait provides an inventive look back into history through the eyes of a Native American hero.

A Boy Named Beckoning: The True Story of Dr. Carlos Montezuma, Native American Hero
What an incredible life! Was Wassaja was kidnapped when a child, sold as a slave, and was bought by Carlos Gentile, an Italian photographer who had immigrated to the US from Italy in search of adventure.
Wassaja became well travelled with his new father, who photographed many people and places to support them. Eventually, Wassaja went to school, and ended up becoming a doctor by the age of seventeen. He worked and taught for many years. He also advocated tirelessly for his people, and for other indigenous peoples in the US. He died in 1923; a year later the US government declared native Americans were citizens.
This guy was pretty amazing, working incredibly hard, accomplishing so much. The photographs included in this book were terrific, and were taken by Carlos Gentile.
