Paperback. Condizione: Good. Warrior Grandma: The Story of Patricia Locke by Littlebrave Beaston will be the latest title in the Change Maker series. Patricia Locke--whose Lakota name, Thaw chin Wast Win, means Compassionate Woman--courageously fought for the equality of Indigenous people in the United States and around the world. She was not only a staunch advocate for the rights of Indigenous people but a loving mother and grandmother. This book teaches the values of generosity, selflessness, and the importance of building strong family relationships. Readers will learn about how prejudice affects American Indians and how Patricia advocated for equal rights for Indigenous people during her lifetime. The book also discusses the qualities of leadership, the principle of consultation, and the importance of courage and perseverance in the face of oppression and attempted assimilation. Patricia acted as a bridge between two cultures--white and Indigenous--and, even in the face of overwhelming difficulties, she always demonstrated compassion toward others. She embodied the qualities of a true Change Maker. Mazibuko, Luthando (illustratore).…
