I reread two of my old-favorite, middle-grade/young adult historical fiction novels, The Beaded Moccasins: The Story of Mary Campbell and The Ransom of Mercy Carter.
Oooh, I've never read either of those, but the description reminded me of a book I did love as a kid— I can't remember the name of it for life or Google, but it was about a little pioneer or colonial girl who lives in the woods with her dad, and then he has to leave for some reason, so he leaves her in the care of a Native American family and she ends up living with them for like a year. I have no idea how well it would hold up now, but I do remember it being a case of mutual cultural exchange and learning, etc.
