There was a sacred hill. It had been there for as long as time itself. Mobs of kangaroos, living on the sacred hill, looked after the land and the land looked after them. And they were happy. . . Blue, Treez, Potsy and Rocko are happy in their homes around the sacred hill until a mob of noisy mynas disturbs the peace. Forced to leave their land, the kangaroos soon find themselves a long way from home, but thoughts of the sacred hill are never far away. When four spirited roos -- Blue, Treez, Potsy and Rocky -- unite, they embark on an adventure that will lead them back home; home to the sacred hill. The Sacred Hill features an inspiring narrative and illustrations by artist Gordon Hookey, as well as activities to complete at home or in the classroom.

A concise and engrossing account of the Lakota and the battle to regain their homeland. The Lakota Indians made their home in the majestic Black Hills mountain range during the last millennium, drawing on the hills' endless bounty for physical and spiritual sustenance. Yet the arrival of white settlers brought the Lakotas into inexorable conflict with the changing world, at a time when their tribe would produce some of the most famous Native Americans in history, including Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse. Jeffrey Ostler's powerful history of the Lakotas' struggle captures the heart of a people whose deep relationship with their homeland would compel them to fight for it against overwhelming odds, on battlefields as varied as the Little Bighorn and the chambers of U.S. Supreme Court.
