Yes, Patty, there are a few great resources concerning Native American
children's books.
Check out 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."

 Debbie Reese (Pueblo).

Finally, go to new children's author Cynthia Leitich Smith's
(Muskogee/Creek) wonderful webpage for a host of links and specific
recommendations:
