This book is about a Native American girl whose dreams tell her and guide her to make things and go places. She ends up becoming the sister of seven brothers and they fight off bulls so that the bulls will not take the girl. They end up so high in the sky they can not get down and form the big dipper at night. This is a great cultural book for students so they can learn some of the Native American stories. This book is a little bit longer and has some great vocabulary so it would be suitable for grades 2-4.

Renowned - despite her young age - for her skill with a needle, Quillworker is prompted by a series of dreams to create seven beautiful war-shirts, and the breechclouts, leggings, moccasins, and gauntlets to go with them. Prompted again by her dreams, the young Cheyenne girl sets out for a distant lodge, where she knows that seven brothers are waiting to welcome her as their sister. All goes well, for a time, until the buffalo people appear, and demand Quillworker for themselves. When the seven brothers refuse to surrender their new sister, they find themselves under attack, and must climb into the sky to escape destruction, eventually becoming the constellation known as the Big Dipper.

A pourquoi tale explaining the origins of a well-known constellation, the story to be found in Terri Cohlene's Quillworker has also been retold by Paul Goble, in his picture-book, Her Seven Brothers, and features as one storytelling 'episode' (The Legend of Quillwork Girl And Her Seven Star Brothers) in the made-for-television film, Dreamkeeper. It also happens to be the last of Terri Cohlene's six folkloric adaptations, all part of the Native American Legends series, that I have read. I can't tell you how glad I am to be done with them!

As with all of Cohlene's other entries in the series - Turquoise Boy, Little Firefly, Dancing Drum, Clamshell Boy, and Ka-Ha-Si and The Loon - this title's lack of attribution, its omission of any reference to the source material used, greatly irritated me. That happens to be one thing that I particularly look for, in folkloric adaptations, and while I understand that older works of this nature might not include such information, I find it difficult to overlook its absence, in a book published in 1990. Unfortunately, the trouble with Quillworker doesn't end there, as the book also includes - as did Little Firefly - a reference in the time-line at the rear, to the Battle of Wounded Knee. As mentioned in my review of Little Firefly, I find this terminology utterly unacceptable, as it whitewashes a tragic, and very shameful episode in American history. To add insult to injury, this particular time-line also includes a reference to the Battle of Sand Creek!

One more time, all together: No, Terri Cohlene, these weren't battles. Battles are what happen when two military forces meet and engage. When military forces kill non-combatants, we call that a massacre. Or mass murder. Or a war crime. When the military force in question proceeds to mutilate the dead bodies of its victims (as was done at Sand Creek, where approximately 66% of the dead were women and children), we call that a bizarrely perverse atrocity. See the difference? Get it straight! ( )

The most talented quillworker has a dream that she is to join seven brothers in this Cheyenne legend. She does, but the buffalo want to take her away. The youngest makes the tree they hide in grow to the sky where they become the stars of the big dipper and Quillworker decorates the heavens. ( )
