Education find

A very beautiful intelligent read. My children loved it as much as I did. I encouraged my son's teacher to influence her students to read this and similar stories. Not only is it educational for Native American children but also for others. It is important that every American child learn about Native Americans. Unless they live near a rez most people do not even realize Native Americans still live. In schools American children learn about the pilgrims and that small chapter in history about the bloody Indian wars. There is so much more; culture, tradition, history, and even morals. If you teach the children now, with stories such as this one, perhaps they will learn acceptance of other cultures instead of ignorance.

Children of the Earth and Sky is a collection of five stories about Indian children. (Hopi, Comanche, Mohawk, Navajo, and Mandan) Each teach a lesson full of tradition and culture. The book is also filled with beautiful pictures that flicker images from a world of the past. I recommend this book for all ages and nationalities.
