2022-11-15 11_40_41-American Indians in Children's Literature (AICL)_ Thoughts on David A.

The American Indians in Children's Literature is an amazing resource where children's books, stories, comics, and novels get reviewed. Drs. Debbie Reese and Jean Mendoza's critical lens is an asset when choosing books for students, or in thinking about texts that you've read in a new light.

The Canada Comics Open Library has bibliographic lists on all aspects of their collection, but their section dedicated to Indigenous Comics is very thorough, current, and relevant. They have curated a listing of exceptional contributions from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit authors, and artists, and have carefully vetted the material crafted by non-Native artists, to ensure cultural authenticity. Representing a wide range of reading levels, age groups, and topics of interest, there is a graphic story for every reader in this compilation.

The National Council of Teachers of English website ReadWriteThink.org has plenty of resources on all topics, but a quick search for Native American teaching resources brings up a lot of content, exercises, lessons, and activities to help develop a more inclusive perspective on Native American life and culture, set in a present-day context. Many of the resources here focus on the lessons and concepts that get dealt with in terms of Native representation in comics and graphic storytelling.
