There was nothing Kaya liked better than to ride her beloved horse, Steps High, through the steep mountains, deep canyons, and high prairies of her beautiful homeland — present-day Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.

Inside this book you'll see what growing up was like before America became a country. Listen to legends that Kaya loved to hear, about a time before human beings walked the earth — when animals could talk! Learn what it was like to live inside a snug tipi and ride horses from the time you were a baby. Most important, read about Nez Perce girls and women, who survived wars against their people, risked their lives to protect their traditions, and never, ever, lost their spirit.
