Dear Colleagues, With the holiday, I'm a bit behind with this email, providing an update of what I've posted to American Indians in Children's Literature. There's a lot to catch up on, from a major author's (Jan Brett) book that uses Inuit culture to retell the story of the three bears, to my post today, about the ways that children's books provide information about Christian missions and the mission schools... Here's the link: http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com And here's the index of what I've added: Wednesday, December 19 An Open Letter to Jan Brett --An indigenous librarian critiques this retelling of the three bears story, in which Brett uses Inuit culture in her retelling. Thursday, December 20 An Open Letter to Marion Boyars Publishers (London) --A college student's critique of a dreadful picture book published in London Friday, December 21 Article re LeAnne Howe's MIKO KINGS --I'm using this book (MIKO KINGS) this coming semester, for students in my Intro to AIS classes Saturday, December 22 Visionmaker Video --An excellent source for Native-produced videos Thursday, December 27 A reader's response to MIKO KINGS --Jean Mendoza's excellent thoughts on MIKO KINGS Friday, December 28 Christians and Indians: Comenius and Alexie --Comenius is the first person, as far as I have researched, who gave children an image of an Indian. Sunday, December 30 "Retired bishop apologizes for mistreating the Miwoks" --My thoughts on the mission schools and the ways that children's books present missions and mission schools Have a good week, Debbie Debbie A.
