Established in 2006, American Indians in Children's Literature (AICL) provides critical perspectives and analysis of indigenous peoples in children's and young adult books, the school curriculum, popular culture, and society. Scroll down for links to book reviews, Native media, and more... (Site redesigned on July 29, 2010.)
Nothing quite like starting a new novel and running into 'native as in born here, not savage' on the first page.
The book is What Happened to Lani Garver by Carol Plum-Ucci.

Wow, I'm speechless. Did it not cross this silly bint's vapid mind that that kind of hatespeak could harm some Native (as in born and raised here, just for more generations) kid who reads that? Or does she just assume we can't read? Gosh, I'm angry enough to go fire off letters to the publisher, distributor, editor, and author. Let them know that kind of stuff is NOT ever acceptable.
