I found this great guide on " How to tell the difference" in whether a book, an image or other portrayal of Native American people and culture is stereotypical or offensive.
I printed the guide and put in in what I have called "kits" with a variety of dated books with "Indian" Characters. The books are a mix of things that may or may not be stereotypical. I also included an old video series on the same topic on native americans and how they are potrayed in film to the kits (they are VHS). These older materials have been re-purposed and the guide itself can be adapted and used with any demographic.
