Champlain and the Silent One by: Kate Messner

His tribe calls him Silent One. He hasn't spoken since his uncle died fighting the Iroquois. But in the winter of 1609, a new language echoes through the north woods. Samuel de Champlain and his Frenchmen speak of friendship and promise to help the Innu people fight their enemies. This time, Silent One must join the war party, journey far from home, and find his voice to save his brother and his own spirit.

    I think this book would be a great book to read for the Vermont class. The perspective is in the eyes of the young boy Silent One, and it really shows you how the Native Americans really survived when Samuel de Champlain came to clam the land the Native Americans had already lived on.
