[LM_NET] Native author rejects honorary degree

[Debbie Reese <debreese@UIUC.EDU>]

Good morning,

On Tuesday of last week, I wrote about Louise Erdrich's
rejection of an honorary degree from University of North
Dakota. Erdrich has written several outstanding books
for children, particularly THE BIRCHBARK HOUSE.
