In The Totally Ninja Raccoons meet Bigfoot, our protagonists discover they are not meant to be ordinary bandits, but rather carry the potential to be something extraordinary, ninjas. In this origin story, the Ninja Raccoons begin their ninja training, and meet their first potential employer--Gypsy the Cat. Gypsy sends the Raccoons on their first mission, to capture the elusive Bigfoot. Things aren't what they seem to be. Bigfoot isn't the monstrous beast, as he's been portrayed. Gypsy isn't the benign employer. Cats want to take over the world. The Totally Ninja Raccoons learn that sometimes you have to choose your own path if you want to choose your destination.

This edition has extensive information and annotations not included in the original.She was a privileged, white New York City woman. In 1902, she married an Arapaho man in Cheyenne, Wyoming, spending many years on the Wind River Reservation with him, raising their five daughters. She and her husband, Episcopal Bishop, Sherman Coolidge, lived among and grew close to reservation residents while doing what they could to advance Indian interests on a local, practical level and nationally.In this poignant, compassionate series of stories based on her experiences, Grace wrote in a beautiful, spare style of her neighbors and friends at Wind River. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she saw them as fellow human beings from whom everything had been taken, including their dignity, and little given in return. The result was desperate poverty and a constant struggle to survive.Grace Coolidge's stories are still relevant to anyone in the 21st century who cares about justice and has an interest in the history of Native Americans. Though often painful, they are still a pleasure to read for their humanity and for the unusual perspective of a white woman living on the reservation.
