[LM_NET] Misuse of Native story

[Debbie Reese <debreese@UIUC.EDU>]

Good morning,

Hard to say which blog post I should highlight in 
this week's email of updates to American Indians 
in Children's Literature (located at 
www.americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com). 
Each of the three posts pushes pretty hard, and 
has the potential to unsettle readers and their 
use of children's books about American Indians. Here they are:

Tuesday, July 17
A Teacher Reconsiders Virginia Grossman's TEN LITTLE RABBITS
--A fellow blogger writes about the popular book, TEN LITTLE RABBITS

Wednesday, July 18
Liz Ketchum's WHERE THE GREAT HAWK FLIES
--Reflections on historical fiction, and a review by Beverly Slapin

Friday, July 20
Beverly Slapin's "How to Turn a Traditional 
Indian Story into a Children's Book (for fun and profit)"
--A provocative essay about the misuse of Native story

Tomorrow I will have finished reading HARRY 
POTTER and will post an observation about it.
