TitleNative American Fathers in Children's Picture Books
BodyFROM: "Anselmo Villanueva"

The March 2003 issue of "Multicultural Review"
(Volume 12, No. 1) includes an article on
"Selecting Children's Picture Books with Positive
Native American Fathers and Father Figures," by
Craig Heller, Bruce Cunningham and Hannah Heller.
The authors briefly discuss the role of fathers and
father figures in Native American cultures, and
review 17 picture books representing the indigenous
peoples of North America, Alaska Natives or Native
Hawaiians. Included is a chart for what to look for
and what to avoid in children's books about Native
Americans. The authors suggest looking for "[b]ooks
that show Native Americans as fully human with
different roles, engaged in the everyday tasks of
living as part of a complex society" (p. 48).
