Arnold Spirit Jr. lives on the Spokane Indian Reservation and attends an Indian school. Here he is beaten and called names by his own people. For what? Just because he was born painfully different from the others. So Arnold sits at home and draws caricatures and caricatures in response to everything that happens in his life. But drawing is also an opportunity to escape from the reservation, where all the Indians have long given up and found solace in bottles. Arnold wants a better life and decides: he needs to take a chance and go to the Reardan School, where he can get a good education and become a leader. But there he will be the only Indian among the whites ... will he be able to become his own among strangers?In this semi—autobiographical novel, ShermaNalexi, a Native American, tells the story of his childhood.: What it was like to grow up on a poor Indian reservation, and then have the courage to go from there to a white school to become something more than a poor Indian boy.
