The True Story of a Native American Rock BandRedbone by Christian Staebler

by Christian Staebler, Sonia Paolini, illustrated by Thibault Balahy

"Presents the history of the Native American rock band Redbone, who rose to fame while maintaining their cultural identity, and took a stand as the American Indian Movement in the 1970s gained momentum..

"Well-researched and well-paced, this book will introduce a new generation to the music and impact of Redbone. Musicians with heart put their people before profits in an inspirational tale."
