| | Bibliography of North American Indians |
| | Today, over 500 years since the arrival of Columbus to the shores of the Americas, schoolchildren, teachers, and society are continually inculcated with myths and misinformation about American Indians and Alaska Natives. | | | Few of these images have any basis in reality, drawn as they are from one of the most closely held beliefs of American mythology. | | | Some questions asked repeatedly were: "What books should I use for teaching children?" "Which books are accurate, which are not, and if not, why not?" These sincere questions and twenty-five years of experience as an educator developing and analyzing curricula support my firm belief that teachers do not deliberately use poor teaching materials. |
