EDITORIAL REVIEWS |
Product Description
This book is based on interviews with 120 Native youth from across North America. Written especially for today's Native middle and high school students, the authors share students' stories of life's challenges and their struggles to find and stay on the Good Path. They focus especially on how students developed strong Native identities; coped with troubles in their families, communities, and schools; reached their breaking points or responded resiliently to high-pressure situations; learned to appreciate their own intellectual gifts and abilities; and met the academic and social challenges they encountered in school. Interspersed throughout the book are short fictional "teaching stories" meant to illustrate common dilemmas faced by Native youth and how the characters responded. |

Students voices find little... 
I was looking forward to reading this book after a co-worker had informed me it gave a new voice to Native students so they could inform educators what they needed to succeed. Unfortunately I found the book to only repeat the same themes that many other writers have already put into print. The one good thing about this book is that it does have nice art and is creatively peiced together.

The Seventh Generation--Native Students Speak About Finding 
HelloI am currently re-reading "The Seventh Generation, Native Students Speak About Finding the Good Path" by Amy Bergstrom, Linda Miller Cleary, and Thomas D. Peacock. Written as a textbook for Native students in j.h and h.s, Seventh Generation goes far beyond these perimeters and offers educators a fascinating exploration into the lives of Native American youth and their attitudes/approaches towards life and education. Seventh Generation also suggests educational ideas and methods to help Native students meet success. My favorite thing about Seventh Generation?...It's written by both students and educators who share mutual respect for their cultures and each other. Gina Boltz, Director
