Title: Article: Program Seeks Rare American Indian and Indigenous Books
Body: From http://uanews.org/node/16511 Program Seeks Rare American Indian and Indigenous Books The effort is an attempt to improve intercultural understanding through the use of children's books. By La Monica Everett-Haynes, University Communications October 23, 2007 A new effort at The University of Arizona’s College of Education is focused on indigenous populations and trying to help keep indigenous languages from disappearing – and to do this, children and adolescent literature will be used. With a $15,000 donation from the Tohono O’odham Nation, the college’s International Collection of Children’s and Adolescent Literature is initiating a project to bring some of the world’s most rare American Indian and indigenous peoples books to Tucson. “We want to have books that reflect on indigenous populations around the world,” said Kathy G. Short, a professor in the college's language, reading and culture department. The books will build on the existing collection, which is a teaching and research library that contains 30,000 books housed in the College of Education’s basement. The full library is one of the largest collections of international children's literature in the world. Read the entire article at http://uanews.org/node/16511 .
