He has done the right thing—but he has also made enemies. Grabber and his friends will do anything they can to hurt him, especially during the village-wide game of Tekwaarathon (lacrosse). Ohkwa'ri believes in the path of peace, but can peaceful ways work against Grabber's wrath? "An exciting story that also offers an in-depth look at Native American life centuries ago." — Kirkus Reviews ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 7.66 x 5 x 0.44 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Isbn 10 | 0140385045 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0140385045 | | Item Weight | 4.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print Length | 150 pages | | Publication Date | August 1, 1998 | | Publisher | Puffin Books | | Reading Age | 8 - 12 years | ## Images ![Children of the Longhouse - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91WyXddcikL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for homeschooling! *by H***2 on January 19, 2026* Just finished up reading this as part of our homeschooling curriculum this year. What a gem this book is! Both my boys (9 & 13) were super interested in it and it kept their attention. Great way to learn about Indigenous cultures and traditions through story. Highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was a favorite fourth grade class book club book during a study of Native Americans. *by B***G on December 17, 2019* This year my fourth grade class read the book Children of the Longhouse as a book club book. They were divided into groups of 4 and 5, and each day they would prepare a section of the book to read, and discuss it. Then the leader that day of each group shared what they thought. I don't want to spoil the story, but we were examining the relationships that the characters and the community in the book had to nature, and my students loved that. They found it interesting to learn about the beliefs, and that the challenges people had to face and overcome. They loved the climax and the ending too. Characters that they had felt were "bad guys" led to discussions of what options people in another culture might have which would necessitate them doing things that seem bad to us, like disobeying adult advice. I love the way this book fleshes out a pre European existence in the Northeast that helps us picture what life might have been like in an Iroquois village. We love the role that LaCross plays. My students use the Iroquois word for it. I pointed out the glossary at the back with pronunciations for Mohawk words, and my students loved using them and would even discuss how to correctly pronounce them. The book introduced my students to many ideas that they had never been exposed to, and they cared about the characters a lot. They also loved discussing the book more in an in depth way, and then hearing what other groups had had to say. I was interesting how similar the things that each group shared were. We can see that we need to shift our attitudes and be more connected to the natural world all around us. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ museum quality *by D***D on April 28, 2012* This is a kid's book, which is well illustrated, and useful. I have worked as a storyteller in schools. Kids of all backgrounds love native stories! All of Joseph Bruchac's books are high quality, museum pieces, just really good, the apotheosis [ideal] of what a storybook could be like. Journey to the Ancestral Self: The Native Lifeway Guide to Living in Harmony with the Earth Mother (Bk.1) gives a very good description of the native lifeways around stories, and Whispers of the Ancients: Native Tales for Teaching and Healing in Our Time gives another view of native storytelling. The Original Instructions: Reflections of an Elder on the Teachings of the Elders, Adapting Ancient Wisdom to the Twenty-First Century is another book that gives you native context, by an author who also has native storybooks in print, including The Children of the Morning Light: Wampanoag Tales as Told By Manitonquat . Entering into native lifeways is not necessarily judgeable by white man culture, as House of Shattering Light: Life as an American Indian Mystic shows. One thing one notices in native cultures is that they ask new questions, something like one sees in Quantum Power Questions . I find native metaphysics to be similar to Quantum Mechanics. While not a native book, Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation gives some ideas on how life would work, from that perspective. The Exploits of the Incomparable Mulla Nasrudin / The Subtleties of the Inimitable Mulla Nasrudin has stories about tricksters, which are not dissimilar to native stories. teachingdrum.org used to have a list of books of native stories, which is the most comprehensive I've seen. That is a nonprofit, and I have no connection with them, this cites the info resource only. All storytelling is fascinating. Renard the Fox is one example of European stories about animals, which are not totally dissimilar. Stories are fascinating. If you want to entrance, train, entertain, educate, and improve children, nothing is faster or easier than storytelling. ## Frequently Bought Together - Children of the Longhouse - Turtle Island: The Story of North America's First People - The Earth under Sky Bear's Feet: Native American Poems of the Land --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5143842-children-of-the-longhouse](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5143842-children-of-the-longhouse) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
