Whooping savages in paint and feathers? Intuitive, enigmatic ecologists? Cute make-believe figures for kids to playact in costume? Whatever the stereotype, native Americans in children's books are usually generic figures living in the misty past. This collection of essays, articles, poems, book reviews, resources, illustrations, and selection criteria is a strong indictment of the mainstream depiction of Indians as exotic and picturesque. What's problematic is the focus on nonliterary criteria, not only in the criticism of what's bad, but also in the bland models of what's good. For example: "Emma is brave and strong and courageous. And she is not alone. Many of her people work and struggle with her. They are brave, strong, and courageous heroes, too": that may do a bit for self-esteem, but it's not good writing by any standard. Then there's the demand that the library shelves be stripped of books like Little House on the Prairie because of the way the Indians are depicted. Nevertheless, this is a thought-provoking collection, sure to spark heated discussion in library schools, education classes, and wherever issues of multiculturalism, intellectual freedom, and literary merit disturb our view of ourselves. As Michael Dorris says in a fine essay here, Indians must be shown as real, complex people--as individuals. ~--Hazel Rochman

The Native American (NA) experience as presented in children's books is reviewed through essays, poetry, book reviews, guidelines for evaluating books, a resource list of organizations, a bibliography of books by and about NAs, American Indian authors for young readers, and illustrations. The essays may help or hinder Native American concerns. There is hostility: ``You know us (NAs) only as enemies.'' No location is given for the cited Iroquois document which states: ``Even the form of our government seems to owe a greater debt to the Constitution of the Six Nations of the Iroquois than to any European document.'' One positive suggestion is offered: ``Visit with living American Indian people, try to find out more about their ways of life and their languages.'' The book reviews are similar to the essays, and the illustrations are traditional. The poetry, guidelines, resource list, bibliography, and list of authors are sensitive and informative, which makes this a recommended selection for academic libraries.-- Lois F.
