GEN: need article on unlearning Indian stereotypes

[Johanna Halbeisen Woodland ES <jhalbei@k12.oit.umass.edu>]

I noticed during the Thanksgiving time that a number of teachers had kids
playing Indian, making paper feathers for play headdresses and the like.  I
am looking for a short concise something (pamphlet, article, whatever) as an
intro for teachers on how not to fall into the Indian stereotype trap at
Thanksgiving.  I have a whole book of very good stuff that was out out years
ago by the Council on Interracial Books for Children (oh, do I miss those
folks!!), but it is too detailed and lengthy for teachers who are new to the
ideas and don't have time or motivation to read it.  I want something I can
give to an overworked but vaguely interested teacher.

So...have you seen a good article in an education publication?  What else
might work?  Any and all suggestions welcomed!
