What the History Books Never Taught Us!

Such a lovely and honest compliation of indigenous women's history and folklore.

Great for classroom intro for Native American Lit

What a great book. So many books that are available are on the stories of men (these are important too) but women are seldom heard from. We usually only hear of vision quests and warriors. This is a book that would introduce students to both sides of the story and the intro gives such insight to the Native American woman. Allen states the plights and goals of their women clearly and understandably. What is available in the canon is limited. This is a great book to lead into discussions and comparisons. It shows the otherside of stereotypes. It is interesting enough that students would not be bored. There are many selections that could be assigned and finished in one class period. A must for any language arts teacher or person interested in Native American lit- also great for a feminist point of view of another culture.
