This is the spirited story of Esther Burnett Horne, an accomplished and inspiring educator in Indian boarding schools. Born in 1909, Horne attended Haskell Indian Institute in Lawrence, Kansas, and often visited relatives on the Shoshone Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. Motivated by teachers like Ella Deloria and Ruth Muskrat Bronson, Horne devoted her life to educating other Indian children. She began teaching at the Wahpeton Indian School in Wahpeton, North Dakota, in 1930 and has remained active in education to the present day. Her experiences as student and teacher have enabled Horne to provide a detailed portrait of Indian boarding schools. We learn about daily life at Haskell and about the challenges and rewards of teaching for the Bureau of Indian Affairs at Wahpeton. Above all, Horne's life illuminates the ongoing struggle by Native teachers and students to retain their cultural identities within a government educational system designed to assimilate them. Esther Horne and Sally McBeth developed this life history in a truly collaborative manner. McBeth carefully documented both Horne's personal history and the creation of this work. What emerges is an engaging and informative narrative about education and identity.

Good matcha and way cheaper than Starbucks and taste the same
Flavor Name: Original, Size: 5.3 oz (Pack of 1)
This matcha tastes pretty good and has a nice, smooth flavor. Unlike some matcha products, it doesn’t have an overly grassy or bitter taste. Instead, it tastes more like a matcha latte, making it enjoyable and easy to drink. It is definitely on the sweeter side, and you can tell that sweeteners have been added. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the extra sweetness, but that’s more of a preference than a quality issue. Overall, it still tastes like real matcha and makes for a pleasant drink. If you enjoy sweeter matcha lattes, you’ll probably like this product. While I would have preferred a less sweet version, I still found it enjoyable overall.

Great so far!
Color: Green
Simple matcha kit that works. I make my Matcha in my mug so I did not need a bowl. (One less thing to clean. ) As long as you clean what you use right away, it all just comes off. It's survived near daily use since I baught it.
