Good morning I'd like to suggest listmembers read a copy of the following books to prepare for the October discussion: Evaluating Children's and Young Adult Books by and about American Indians.

American Indian Stereotypes in the World of Children: A Reader and Bibliography, 1999, by Arlene Hirschfelder, Paulette Fairbanks Molin, and Yvonne Wakim. The publisher is Scarecrow Press.

Through Indian Eyes: The Native Experience in Books for Children, 1998, by Beverly Slapin, and Doris Seale (Santee/Cree), eds. Published by UCLA Amer Indian Studies Center.

Both are in second edition, so please make sure you get the right one. Please note that Reader's Digest also published a book with "Through Indian Eyes" as the first words in the title, but the one I recommend is the Slapin and Seale book. Amazon says it ships in 4-5 weeks, but I know you can get it much sooner if you order it from Oyate at .
