We (Native peoples) have so many dark moments in history that need telling, but not in the way it is done in DARKNESS UNDER THE WATER, a new YA novel. Doris Seale, whose work some of you may know (she's a co-editor of THROUGH INDIAN EYES and A BROKEN FLUTE), and Judy Dow wrote an extensive review essay of DARKNESS UNDER THE WATER, which is about the Vermont Eugenics Project of the 1930s. Many of you may be surprised to learn that here in the US there was a Eugenics program, and while you and students should learn about it, please don't do so via DARKNESS UNDER THE WATER. Seale and Dow's review is on my site today (Dec. 5, 2008). http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2008/12/seale-and-dow-essay-on-darkness-under.html Debbie (Please excuse cross-postings, and, forward this email to others who work with children and books.)
