Description: This historical novel, by Michael Dorris, gives the reader some insight into native cultures before Europeans settled in North America and the Caribbean. Walnut, who earns the name Sees Behind Trees, is a young boy who has come to the age where he has to prove his ability to hunt with a bow and arrow. The problem is, he sees poorly. Will this inability to see stand in the way of earning his name? Sees Behind Trees discovers where he fits in in the outside world and who he is in his inside world.
