What Parents Need to Know
About North American Indians
Parents need to know that, despite unexceptional writing, kids will pore over the colorful illustrations of everyday Native American life. The book lends itself to child-parent discussions, though it lacks a pronunciation guide.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how Native Americans have been treated by the U.S. government throughout history, and note that the book was written before the term "Native American" became more commonly used/accepted than those like "Indian" and "American Indian." Talk about the different terms -- where did they come from? Why is it best to identify specific tribes when possible?
