The lesson-plan ideas shared here and in other resources are helpful, but given the reality -- in non-Native classrooms, teachers ARE going to teach Thanksgiving -- it would be nice if publishers had books that told the 1621 story in culturally accurate and appropriate ways.<br /><br />Writing and publishing those books is not really the responsibility of Native writers and presses, but I imagine that some of us non-Native people ask here because we figure, if anyone knows the good/best books, it's you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-64575348711272070582012-10-13T21:06:58.991-05:002012-10-13T21:06:58.991-05:00thanks for this list!

Now that I am a father myself, I encourage my kids to read good books. There are a lot of good books to read like the Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter or those which are written by Stephen King.Good Books To Readhttp://goodbookstoread.org/category/best-sellernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-27041756137960228642009-11-13T20:54:53.015-06:002009-11-13T20:54:53.015-06:00As a Navajo teacher I need to remind everyone that...As a Navajo teacher I need to remind everyone that we, as tribes are as different from each other as Germans are from Irish. I am from a Nomadic tribe with taboos on snakes, owls and certain animals. So recommanding a literature book that encompass' all Native Americans is like asking Western Europeans to find a book that describes them all. So ask each tribe what they recommend. Find the closet tribe and visit their museums, offices and websites they are more willing to share their stories with your children. Teach them respect of another culture.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682743761761586720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-33514119387474583372008-11-16T17:34:00.000-06:002008-11-16T17:34:00.000-06:00As a family we have always concentrated more on th...As a family we have always concentrated more on the Thanks/Gratefulness part of Thanksgiving than on the whole Pilgrim and Indian meal part. As most people have learned that the stories we were told as children were not at all the reality we have abadoned that part of the meal to some degree. I do wonder, each year how I can tell my children, at a level appropriate to them, about life in those times. I think that is where requests for books on Thanksgiving might come from.lalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14443292167596786469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-77370458265671198802007-11-13T14:48:00.000-06:002007-11-13T14:48:00.000-06:00Great post.
