Native American Themes in Childrens Books

Native American Themes in Children and Young Adult Books
Overall, children's and young adult books with Native American Indian characters and themes have improved dramatically since I was a kid. We have a lot more to pick from than the Sacajewea and Pocahontas biographies, the tales of "savagery" on the Prairie.
Looking at those writers who've focused a significant portion of their work in this area, Native authors as well as non-Native authors with strong community ties (or those who did their homework), it's clear that there are some quality books now available.

Oyate
http://www.oyate.org
Oyate is a Native organization working to see that our lives and histories are portrayed honestly, and so that all people will know our stories belong to us.
For Native children, it is as important as it has ever been for them to know who they are and what they come from. It is a matter of survival.
For all children, it is time to learn the truth of history. Only in this way will they come to have the understanding and respect for each other that now, more than ever, will be necessary for life to continue.
Our work includes evaluation of texts, resource materials and fiction by and about Native peoples; conducting of teacher workshops, in which participants learn to evaluate children's material for anti-Indian biases; administration of a small resource center and library; and distribution of children's, young adult, and teacher books and materials, with an emphasis on writing and illustration by Native people.

Native American Symbols

Native American Symbols
Native American symbols offer us a complete and reverent language of life, nature, and spirit. This language is unmatched in it's depth and power.
This language derives it's power from the fact that American Indians viewed all things - whether seen or touched - living or inanimate - as possessors of a spirit.

Evaluating American Indian Web Sites
http://www.u.arizona.edu/~ecubbins/webcrit.html
Techniques for Evaluating American Indian Web Sites
The purpose of this Web page is to provide some guidelines useful for evaluating and identifying Web sites that contain accurate information and that are not exploitative of American Indians. Note that these guidelines are not all inclusive nor are they foolproof. Web site evaluation must also include the knowledge that one already has about Native peoples and brings to the Web. If you don't know if a site is presenting accurate information, find a source that you trust, online or offline, and compare what you find there with what you find in the Web site.
