"Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve has told a terribly important, complex story of what it means to be human--to be a father, a leader, a civil rights hero--in simple, powerful, unadorned language accessible to one and all, but especially to children."--Joe Starita, author of ""I Am a Man" Chief Standing Bear's Journey for Justice "--Joe Starita (03/05/2013)

"Finally we have a children's book that tells the story of the Ponca people who were for so long a forgotten tribe and presents an Indian hero for teachers to use in the classroom. Sneve captures the unique richness of being Indian and the challenges faced in a changing America as Standing Bear's life evolves. Students will be inspired to find their own heroes through the universal themes of the love of family and home as we celebrate Standing Bear's journey home."--Judi M. gaiashkibos, an enrolled member of the Ponca tribe of Nebraska and executive director of the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs--Judi M. gaiashkibos (03/15/2013)
