 Fazeela Alli __Book List__ __Where the Buffalos Begin__ by Olaff Baker, Stephen Gammell This is a short picture book about the history of the Native Americans living in the plains and the influence of the buffalos on their lives. Students can learn about the use of the buffalo skin for clothing, meat for food, and other parts of the body that were useful to the Natives. __The Choctaw__ by Christin Ditchfield Here is a good nonfiction resource for teachers, and it teaches children about the Choctaw Indians. The book contains many illustrations of famous Choctaw art, and there are explanations for the significance of each work of art. I think this type of book would be useful to introduce nonfiction reading to students along with how to read a glossary and terms. __Girl Who Married a Ghost, and Other Tales from the North American Indian__ by Edward S. Curtis This book will introduce young kids to Native American literature and folklore. Teachers can use this book towards a cultural literature unit, and perhaps have students create their own tales. __Coyote Dreams__ by Susan Nunes This story is told with lyrics, and it tells the story about a boy who finds out that his garden turns into a home to coyotes. The boy becomes friends with the coyotes, and they tell him different stories, teach him music, and dance. Children will have a good time with this animated story and great works of art. __Double Life of Pocahontas__ by Jean Fritz This book tells the story of Pocahontas, and it introduces children to the beginning of Native American history. Children can learn the struggle between an individual and their family and their country. Pocahontas fought to keep the peace as well as preserve the culture of her ancestors.
