Cherokee Wisdom
The story is about a little boy who is adopted by his Cherokee grandparents when his parents die. It's a delightful insight into the way Cherokee people lived and thought, and it's also a powerful statement about racism and prejudice as readable, funny and thought-provoking for me as Huckleberry Finn, which I recently re-read. While it is presented as a book for young adults and is, indeed, an easy read, I loved it, laughed at the simple humor, and wept when it ended.

I remember reading this years ago. A lovely story. I think it is a movie also.
I gather they made his "Outlaw Josey Wales" into a movie, too.
