Indians #16

This anthology issue features three stories. "Long Bow" depicts the growing season on the prairie and shows Long Bow challenging Cloud's horse to a race, with dialogue revealing tensions about the superiority of their respective steeds. "Warriors of the West" recounts how Black Hawk, born in 1767 as a member of the Sac Indian tribe, became a leading warrior against white westward expansion, including his council plan and subsequent conflicts with white settlers and squatters who drove the Sacs from their fertile lands, with an 1804 treaty forcing the tribe to remain on the other side of the Rock River. The issue concludes with an educational text section detailing the history of Southeastern tribes including the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole, describing their governmental structures, the discovery of gold on Cherokee lands, forced removal across the Mississippi, and the tragic death toll of their exile.
