Thank you, Maia, for your words re Little House, which I will repeat here because they are so powerful:
"They are perhaps appropriate for a study of history, bigotry, and race relations, but not, I think, as a undeveloped assignment in literature."
This brings us to an important place in our discussion books like this cannot be read as a complement to the Birchbark House. They cannot be read as literature.
