Umpteenth story ever written of a 12 year old boy separated from his family who ends up being raised by Native Americans (who always seem willing to take these strange looking white kids under their wing). You have a better chance of being abducted by aliens these days than by our hard-pressed Native American brothers.

I have not personally read this. I have just found it in my attic. Would advise to those who like Native American stories.
