Counting Coup: A true story of basketball and honor on the
Little Big Horn, by Larry Colton (Non-Fiction)
434p.
On many Indian reservations, high-school basketball has
become a popular venue for expressing the pride of Native
Americans. Yet for all the promise these young Indian athletes
exhibit, few are able to overcome the negative forces--poverty,
alcoholism, teen pregnancy, poor education--that surround them.
Colton, a former professional baseball player and veteran
author, spent 15 months on the Crow reservation in Montana
observing the Hardin High School girls' basketball team. He
focuses on the players--especially talented Sharon LaForge--and
their relationships with their teammates and coaches, but he
also explores the social conditions that affect the players'
lives.
