|  | American Indians by Devon A. Mihesuah
Have you ever heard this? Indians have a tendency toward alcoholism . Or Indians get a free ride from the government . Or If Indians had united, they could have prevented the European invasion . Many such thoughtless notions concerning American Indians linger within popular and even academic milieus, despite the publication of numerous scholarly works clarifying American Indians' history. This may be due to the fact that such works rarely address common, often unspoken, public misconceptions whose accuracy is simply presumed. Such mistakes prolong intercultural misunderstanding, and thereby give rise to further grief and conflict. Widely endorsed by American Indian scholars, American Indians: Stereotypes & Realities provides an engaging and often amusing, yet thoroughly scholarly Indian perspective on common misconceptions concerning American Indians which afflict public and even academic circles to this very day. Written in a highly accessible stereotype/reality format, it examines 24 of the most common stereotypes, and includes a brief bibliography of recommended reading pertinent to each for those interested in further study. No teacher dealing with discrimination issues on the ground should be without this book. It should be used in classrooms across America, and sold wherever American Indian memorabilia are sold. This is an American Indian book for the nonIndian population, because it needs to know. AUTHOR: Devon A. Mihesuah

 | The Stolen Sun by Amanda Hall
When Raven first created people and animals to fill the beautiful world beneath his great tent of sky, a song of joy burst from his throat and brought everything to life. But as time passed, Raven's song was drowned out by shouting and violence as the people grew discontented and greedy. Angry and disappointed, Raven tore the shining sun out of the sky and hid it, leaving the people and land below in darkness. How his son, Little Darkness, brings light and Raven's song back to the world is beautifully told and illustrated by Amanda Hall in this original story woven from Native Alaskan folklore.
