The Warriors

by Joseph Bruchac

When his mother gets a job in Washington, D.C., Jake Forrest has to move away from the Iroquois reservation that has always been his home. Accepted by a private school because of his lacrosse skills, Jake discovers that the team and coach don’t know anything about the ways of Jake’s people or the culture behind the game of lacrosse. Jake has to choose between running back to his people or finding the courage to stay and face the warrior within.
