Sing Down the Moon resources

I want to read this book because I read books in TE348 and 448 about Native Americans and those are pretty much the only books I've ever read about the culture. I also like the history aspect of it. This book is centered around a major event in American history: the Navajo Removal during the Civil War. From the resources, I'm finding that this was a very cruel act. The Navajos were basically forced onto a reservation because the crops were burned by the movement's leader, Col. Kit Carson, and living on the reservation was their only chance for survival. I feel like we don't learn enough about Native Americans and their struggles in public schools. And especially since the Civil War was such an important event in history, I'd like to get some context about what else was going on at the time that we don't really learn about. I think a more interesting and relatable way to learn about this event would be to read a book or poem on it because we can find ways to connect with the characters and put ourselves in their position. I think this would be more effective at teaching culture and humility than reading about it in a history book where the information would be limited and not personal.
