Publisher : Billie Tommie, a ten-year-old Seminole Indian, lives with his family in a chickee on a mangrove island in the Florida Everglades. Billie is the first in his family to attend school. Now he walks in two worlds–the traditonal world of his ancestors and the modern world of teachers, tourists, and schoolmates.
Billie’s grandfather, Abraham, tells him the legends, stories, and rituals that are important to the Seminole people. Abraham says that an honest man who leads a good life will walk the path to the city in the sky when he dies. But Billie wants to learn more about the white man’s ways.
Caught between two cultures, which path will Billie take?
