Lessons from Turtle Island: Native curriculum in early childhood classrooms by Guy W. Jones and Sally Moomaw is one of those rare books that changed my perspective and way of looking for book titles. Each chapter respectfully speaks about topics that are explored in early childhood, like family, baths, shoes and more but the authors suggest ways of including books featuring diverse children. I respect the theme " Building on Similarities, Appreciating Differences"
The two educators, oneof Dakota background and the other not of Native background do a fine job of what activites to include and what to avoid and do the same for book titles. The Curriculum Center at EWU has purchased most of the available books that this title suggests and they are wonderful!
