Four-hundred-twenty-five books are reviewed in this superb
collection. A Second Look, Native Americans in Children's 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 it's in a book
in the library, people believe it to be true. It's time to disturb
the peace and end the ritual of damage." A Second Look, Native
Americans in Children's Books By Andie Peterson
