Product Description:
Chris's life is complicated. At school, he's been selected to lead a project on sports teams with Indian names. At home, on the Penacook reservation, the Indians are divided about building a casino.

"Chris's compelling voyage of self-discovery is grounded in everyday events . . . allowing readers to see into the heart of this burgeoning chief."
-Publishers Weekly
"Readers who see injustice in their own lives will admire how much Chris accomplishes with a simple message of respect."

It is about a modern-day Indian boy named Chris who is dealing with a lot of problems with his family and his friends. To make things worse, plans are in the works to construct a casino on a special island on reservation land.
Chris is also dealing with a problem at school-the team name and mascot. He is insulted by the name "The Rangerville Chiefs" and what they do at games. The tomahawk chop! ... Read More
