The United States is not alone in its misrepresentation of its Native population. Take a look at "Prejudice in children's books" to see how Australia has portrayed its indigenous population in its children's books. The accompanying activities and worksheets at the site are worth a look, too.
One question... The books shown are old. Cynic that I am, I wonder what representations look like in books published in the last ten years?
