b'Award-winning author Eddie Chuculate shares an evocative memoir, bringing his experience from boyhood to young manhood with unflinching prose in THIS INDIAN KID: A NATIVE AMERICAN MEMOIR. Growing up impoverished and shuttled between different households, it seemed life was bound to take a certain path for Eddie Chuculate. Despite the challenges he faced, his upbringing was rich with love and bountiful lessons from his Creek and Cherokee heritage, deep-rooted traditions he embraced even as he learned to live within the culture of white, small-town America that dominated his migratory childhood. THIS INDIAN KID is at once a love letter to his Native American roots and an inspiring and essential message for young readers everywhere, who are coming of age in an era when conversations about acceptance and empathy, love and perspective are more necessary than ever before.'
