Wohali is the story of a seven year old Cherokee boy living in the 1600s. He's going to show you what it was like to be an Indian in the 17th century. Wohali lives with his family in the Smokey Mountains in what is now North Carolina. He's going to show the listener his life and what he thinks about the world around them.

This audiobook is a clear reflection of the importance of cultural history, and specifically the place of storytelling as a timeless link to our ancient traditions, myths, and the universal truths about ourselves and about our world. It helps us to define who we are. Storytelling as a way of passing on cultural knowledge from one generation to another is highly celebrated. Stories keep culture alive, and we need more such historical audiobooks in our homes, libraries, and schools.
Every developing child will definitely benefit from listening to this audiobook. Apart from the knowledge shared in the understanding of other cultures, it will help in having meaningful interactions with all around, as well as help build respect and empathy for other people. All will also learn to celebrate their differences as well as their similarities.
This is a great documentary about the Cherokees!

Very Inspiring and Entertaining Narration.

These stories of the Cherokee are shared by an expert storyteller, Dee Nighthawk, in the voice of a proud, very likeable young boy. Wohali shares a good sampling of the history and customs of his people, and his clan, and immediate family, with lots of telling and funny details such as the story of his younger sister Usdi, who he's charged with looking after, and who he describes as looking like a water bug as she learns to swim.
No children's library should be without this amazing book and its warm insights into another culture and a great people -- one that treats all people with respect, including children, and reveres the traditions and memory of its ancestors, and keeps the home fires burning by sharing coals from the Counsel House's everlasting fire. I certainly learned a lot from reading it, such as the historical fact that elders of the Cherokee, or Anawea tribe, were invited to visit the King of England at one point. Also, that they did just that, and had their portraits painted, pictures that now hang in the National Gallery in London.
This is a rattling good book that made me want more from the same author about the Cherokee, and particularly more stories of Wohali's family life as he grows up, and tales of the animal world as told by Rattlingourd, the storyteller of the Little Tennessee River area. His story of the prehistoric race between Deer and Rabbit, and the subsequent revenge of Deer, is great!

Few children's books are this great.

This book revolves around a boy named the Wohali who was an Indian boy of 17th centurey used to live in a village.


The writer, though, the character Wohali explained the geographical culture of that village in the 17th century.

"A way to study historical Indian culture."

Excellent book. The meanings of many words in the Indian language were explained. This was a matriarchal tribe in the 1600s, and the mother is the boss. A father can be hard on his sons, so uncles train their nephews instead of their sons. Children are respected as much as adults. The tribe has an eternal fire in their council house that is never let to go out. Wohali and his family belong to the Bird clan. I love the great book cover, and it was a joy to listen to this book.

Excellent book about an Indian tribe for young peo

I like learning about different cultures and was interested in listening to something different than I normally listen to...and I"m so glad I did! This was a great story about young Wohali. I felt like I was taken back in time and got to follow Wohali around. It was a well-written and captivating story that isn't just for kids. I loved it too!

Such a well done story!

How refreshing to listen to a book about an Indian boy and what life was like back in the 1600's and Native American culture. It was curious for my son and I to learn of the differences in our cultures from how parents corrected children rather then consequences and how the women are the boss of the home and children. I hope the author writes many more to enjoy.

Beautiful and lighthearted story for children. There is so much history to be learned, yet it is just so sweet and a lovely story for bedtime. Coming from a culture where "every parent owns every child", I could relate to Wohali's family clan. good one.

I so enjoyed this book! It was wonderful listening to how this little Cherokee boy lived with his family and tribe so many years ago. This book contains a wealth knowledge about life in our tribe and should be used to educate others on how life was for our People before everything changed.
How wonderful that a Cherokee child can now read this book, being told through another child's eyes, of how our Ancestors lived! How delightful that anyone can read this and learn how our Ancestors lived, played and celebrated life and each other!
I throughly enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next book about the life of our People, The Cherokee, told through the eyes of a child.

SUCH A TREASURE!

The book exceeded my expectations for many reasons. Coming from an island, I could relate to the culture similarities such as being part of a clan where everyone is like family and cared for each other. I liked how Wohali gave us a glimpse of his culture while keeping us entertained. I wanted to know more...This book should be in libraries for kids and adults because the author brought the story to life. Well done!!!

What a gift this audiobook was to listen to. Kids need representation and to learn about people in different cultures, and this book accomplishes this in a loving, inspirational way. I loved learning the meanings behind the different names, and the storytelling was vivid and made me feel like I was there. This book needs to be in every children’s library.

Beautiful, important children’s book
