Dancing My Dream

This memoir of Native American teacher, writer and artist Warren Petoskey spans centuries and lights up shadowy corners of American history with important memories of Indian culture and survival.

RECOMMENDED BY BEST-SELLING TEACHER TONY CAMPOLO

“Daniel Buttry has given us a survey of champions for peace at a time when we need to know that we peacemakers are ‘compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses.’ This book inspires us ‘to lay aside every weight … which doth so easily beset us’ as we run with patience the race for freedom that is set before us.”
