[LM_NET] New pub from American Indian Library Association

[Debbie Reese <debreese@UIUC.EDU>]

Hello,

On Tuesday of this past week, I posted a link to 
a pdf provided by the American Indian Library 
Association. The item is called I IS FOR 
INCLUSION, and is a follow-up to their 1992 
publication "I is Not for Indian." It's 21 pages long, well worth reading.

If you are using (or have used) Cynthia Leitich 
Smith's fiction about modern-day Native kids 
(JINGLE DANCER, a picture book) or INDIAN SHOES 
(easy reader short stories), you might be 
interested in listening to the two talks she gave 
at the National Book Festival in Washington, DC. 
She was there in 2002 and again this year (2007). 
I'm a big fan of her writing, and we did a 
conference presentation together several years 
ago (NCTE, Atlanta), but I wasn't able to go to 
DC to see her speak there. Cool thing, though, is 
that I found both talks on-line. I posted them on Monday, Nov. 19th.

Also this week, of interest to elementary 
librarians/teachers, is an interview of Richard 
Van Camp, author of two beautiful picture books: 
WHAT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING YOU KNOW ABOUT 
HORSES and A MAN CALLED RAVEN. I posted the link 
to the interview on November 22nd.

I also posted an interview Charlie Rose did of Sherman Alexie back in 1998.

Have a good week,
Debbie
