One of the most overlooked demographics in today's elementary curriculum is the many types of Native Americans that still live in the US today. It's easy for some of us to completely forget about this group of people because today, we simply don't see a lot of them around Iowa.
The author of this blog is Debbie Reese, and Reese currently teaches in the American Indian Studies program at UIUC. Reese is enrolled in the Nambe Pueblo in northern New Mexico, and she is a former school teacher. I was recommended to visit this blog by my Children's Lit Professor, Jacquelin Smith here at Northern Iowa, and it has given me a new perspective on Native American culture, and its influence on education. Take some time to check it out.
