This book teaches wonderful lessons of tolerance and of acceptance of others. When the native americans take care of Matt when his father returns for the rest of the family, he learns to trust others and to depend on their ways of life. His family returns to the home he and his father built to start a new life, but the life he knows there has become very different. This is a great story of friendship and committment to family. The book was made into a movie.
