Description: Home to Medicine Mountain is the story of two young brothers who are separated from their family and sent to live at a government-run indian residential school in the 1930s -- an experience shared by generations of Native American children throughout North America. At these schools, children were forbidden to speak their native languages and made to unlearn their Indian ways. Sadly, they were often not able to go home to their families for summer vacation.

Native American artist Judith Lowry based this personal account on the stories her father and Uncle Stanley told her. With beautiful art and a lyrical, moving narrative, Lowry and author Chiori Santiago tenderly relate how Stanley and Benny Len find a way home by train one summer. Inspired by their dreams of home and the memories of their grandmother's stories, the boys embark on an adventurous journey from the harsh residential school, to their triumphant welcome home at Susanville, California, in the shadow of Yo-Tim Yamne (Medicine Mountain).

A powerful introduction to a hidden corner of Californian and American history, Home to Medicine Mountain is a testament to the spirit of two young boys and the generations of Native American children who shared their experience.
