Reading these books makes me so frustrated as to how cruel Americans were/are to Native Americans. grrrr.<br />Great review :)MissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482156857828868888.post-26134179272005199702009-12-01T15:52:25.041-05:002009-12-01T15:52:25.041-05:00Thanks to The Happy Nappy Bookseller for sharing t...Thanks to The Happy Nappy Bookseller for sharing this one by Joseph Bruchac. <br />If I may also scoot in with another nonfiction title here...<br />With his son, James Bruchac, Joseph Bruchac wrote NATIVE AMERICAN GAMES and STORIES, which is illustrated by Kayeri Akweks, from Fulcrum Publishing.<br /><br />And for Jill Miles, great comment & I like your History for Children blog. <br /><br />Have just discovered Fiction Monday and am so glad I arrived here this way.

The irony of that story is that in school the children were forbidden to speak their native tongue, but eventually that language saved countless American lives. Really interesting book. <br /><br />http://historyforchildren.blogspot.com/2009/11/navajo-to-rescue.htmlJill O. Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01009505347770344705noreply@blogger.com
