Recommended Native American Fiction

My most recent and personal favorite is Tucket's Travels: Francis Tucket's Adventures in the West, 1847-1849 (Books 1-5) (The Francis Tucket Books) by Gary Paulsen. Francis is captured by some Pawnee Indians and makes some unlikely friends throughout the book making for an exciting and action-packed adventure!

Hi! Thank you so much for recommending my novel The River People. That's the best compliment any author can get. The story reflects my love of the Umpqua Valley and Native America life here. I hope the book opens a window into the past for readers.
Thanks again,
Kristen Bailey
