A true account of the life of 11-year-old Felecita, a White Mountain Apache who lives with her family in Whiteriver, Arizona on the Fort Apache reservation. Felecetia participates in traditional tribal customs such as gathering acorns for making Apache stew and listening to legends, but also collects basketball cards and watches T.V. This book focuses on Felecita`s participation in a rodeo where she competes in the barrel racing, calf-riding, and goat-tying events.
