Through Indian Eyes: The Native Experience in Books for Children (Contemporary American Indian Issues No. 7)

Rating:
Summary: Best source around for critical discussion of Native lit
Review: A copy of Through Indian Eyes should be in every elementary, middle and high school library, as well as every public library across the United States, Canada, and other countries where children read books about the indigenous people of the Americas. It is unsurpassed in its presentation of critical analysis of the ways in which Native Americans are represented in children's books. The book includes insightful essays by well known authors (Michael Dorris), as well as critical reviews of popular children's books that distort and/or misrepresent Native culture.
