[Debbie Reese <debreese@UIUC.EDU>]

Good morning,

Updates to American Indians in Children's Literature,
http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com

If you haven't read Harry Potter and the Deathly 
Hallows, and prefer not to know anything about 
the book, don't read my entry for Tuesday, July 24th.

That aside, this week's updates include the following:

Tuesday, July 24, 2007
Native Imagery in HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS
---Harry sees a photo of Dumbledore's mother, and 
thinks she looks like a Native American (my 
theory: Rowling/Harry are describing an old engraving of Pocahontas)

Wednesday, July 25, 2007
Thomas King
--One of my favorite authors

Thursday, July 26, 2007
ALA President, Loriene Roy (Anishinabe)
---An interview with her on NPR

Saturday, July 28, 2007
STORIES FOR A WINTER'S NIGHT: FICTION BY NATIVE 
AMERICAN WRITERS, edited by Maurice Kenny
---An excellent book for high school English Lit classes

Sunday, July 29, 2007
NPR Story "Is Ancient People's End a Warning for the Future?"
---NPR's segment says we (Pueblo Indians) disappeared.

Have a good week,
Debbie
