Book Reviews of Mabel McKay: Weaving the Dream (Portraits of American Genius, 1)

Book Review: Great book
Summary: 5 Stars

I read this book for an anthropology class that i am taking, and i found it to be very good. We get a first hand account of what role Mable McKay played for the Pomo Indians as a medicine women and as a basket weaver. Everything that she did was for a purpose, even though at times she had to deal with not everyone accepting her. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in Native American ways of life
