Patterson, Stephanie

History and Social Science Teacher, v19 n2 p101-03 Dec 1983

The novel "Mist on the River" by Hubert Evans should appeal to secondary students because it brings to life conflicts American Indians encounter as they decide how to respond to the majority culture. Different value systems are introduced and the hazards and benefits of integration explored. Classroom activities are presented. (RM)
