About This Book
Little Moon was only four when she was taken from her family and sent to a boarding school designed to erase her Ponca heritage and force her to live by white society's rules. Spanning four generations, this story reveals the struggles and resilience of Indigenous children who endured these schools while honoring their culture and strength. Through personal family history and voices of survivors, the lasting impact of this painful chapter in American history is brought to life.
