Teacher Kathy Eckles Hooker and photographer Helen Lau Running began this project with a question to a student,
What did you do this weekend?
The student responded, I chased prairie dogs, caught them and ate them.
Hookers curiosity led her to learn about the activities of her students: our grandmother made yucca shampoo, we built a corral, we gathered grass for brushes, we ate blood cakes. The authors meet Sam Worker, who demonstrates the art of moccasin making; Ella Deal, who teaches them to prepare the soil for potato planting; and Roberta Blackgoat, who shows them how to make cornmeal patties.
