[In Anpao] Highwater spins ancient and more recent tales of Indian tribes, focused around one fictional character, and set as stories-within-a story. A unified structure reflects the unity Native Americans feel with the earth, sky, water and people…. Art, songs, stories, poems, and sayings do justice to a rich and relatively unknown heritage full of adventure, mysticism, and even ribald humor. Though complex in concept, the style of writing brings this within the range of most youngsters. (pp. 213-14)
