Hello, Back in 2005, the American Psychological Association passed a resolution calling for the immediate retirement of American Indian mascots, symbols, images, and personalities used by schools, colleges, universities, athletic teams, and organizations. Although they say nothing about images in children's books, it seems to me that APA's statement merits attention from those of us involved in the creation, review, and selecting of children's books. For more, see my blog post on Monday, October 30th.
