""A collective biography that sparks further curiosity about the Native heroes it celebrates. . . . While the individual stories presented here are scant, their presentation brims with admiration and enthusiasm, and it’s the weight of their totality that carries this picture book. A lively and beautifully illustrated salute to Indigenous achievement."" —Kirkus Reviews
