Hello, all?

I don't know if this has been announced yet; if not, I am pleased to announce the publication of the fourth edition of <Through Indian Eyes: The Native Experience in Books for Children> by the American Indian Studies Center of University of California at Los Angeles. For those who don't know about our book:

" , a compilation of work by Native parents, educators, poets and writers, is for anyone interested in presenting non-biased material about indigenous peoples to children. <Through Indian Eyes> contains, from a Native perpective, essays and poetry, critical reviews of more than 100 children's books by and about Indian peoples, a guide to evaluating children's books for anti-Indian bias, a recommended bibliography, and a resource section of Native publishers and organizations."

"A superb collection of articles that together function as a guide to the murky world of 'children's books about Indians.' Poetry, personal recollection, bibliographies and reviews of books from a Native perspective lead the librarian, teacher and parent to an understanding of the often subtle stereotypes and mythology that abound about Native Americans in children's literature."
?Lisa Mitten (Mohawk), Secretary, American Indian Library Association

"It's an absolutely wonderful resource, containing lots of insights not available in standard reference tools. The format and layout make it very easy to use."
?Kathleen Horning, Cooperative Children's Book Center
