Abstract

"Through Indian Eyes is for educators, parents, librarians and anyone else interested in responsible multicultural education. Its nine essays, eight by Native American writers, confront the impact of stereotyping on children. Poetry, art and stories by Native Americans, including Paula Gunn Allen, Beth Brant, Linda Hogan, Jimmie Durham and Chrystos, provide a creative complement to the essays. Over 100 short reviews critique children's books on Native Americans. The resource section includes an extensive bibliography of recommended children's books and a resource section on Native American publishers."--Back cover.
