About this ebook

Four-hundred-twenty-five books are reviewed in this superb collection. A Second Look, Native Americans in Childrens Books gives a thorough examination of the books as a guide for parents, teachers, librarians, and administrators interested in books for children. Anyone involved in selecting books will find this guide useful in working through the maze of available materials.



Andie Peterson, one of the few women to be awarded an Eagle Feather, has provided a meaningful criteria to help in judging books. She outlines ways for objectively studying books to draw conclusions as to the suitability for the reader. She writes candidly about books filled with stereotypes, hurtful images, and damaging text and illustrations. She writes eloquent, glowing reviews of the books that are real treasures.



She writes: On a daily basis, children must face the hidden curriculum that lets them know where they fit in, whether they can achieve their goals, whether they even dare to dream. An overwhelming part of that hidden curriculum begins with books that are more narrative and illustrations; they are books that carry a message of politics and values.



Andie advises that in selecting Native American books, the non-Native child must be considered, also. She counsels that hurtful books set in motion attitudes of prejudice that persist for years. She states that she has reviewed books with older copyrights because they are still on the shelves in libraries and available via the Internet. She says reading the older books helps to understand how adults have formed ideas about Native people. She says: After all, if its in a book in the library, people believe it to be true. Its time to disturb the peace and end the ritual of damage.

Andie Peterson

When Andie Peterson was asked how difficult the mayor's job is, she replied: "President Lyndon Johnson was having a press conference in the midst of the Vietnam War. His ratings were the lowest they had ever been. One of the reporters asked the President if anything could be worse than what he was experiencing at this dire time in United States history. President Johnson thought for a moment and said, 'Yes, I could have been a mayor.'" Andie served four terms as mayor of a small town in northern Minnesota so she knows first hand the unpredictable nature of elected office. She has served on numerous boards and commissions locally and nationally. She has published over two-hundred columns and articles. Among her many awards are: Minnesota teacher of the Year, Finalist for National Teacher of the Year, special awards from two Minnesota governors, the Tombola Award for her work in conservation, and three Minnesota School Bell Awards for editorial writing. Andie's previous books are "Northern Explosion, a Laura Kjelstad Mystery", "Murder for Mayor, a Laura Kjelstad Mystery", and "A Second Look, Native Americans in Children's Books." All the books are available through local bookstores and Internet sources.
