Multicultural

The chapter book North American Indian Stories about the Stars, by Gretchen Will Mayo, tell different tales of Native American Indians. The book introduces the way tales were passed down: young people gathered around a campfire to watch The Old One act out stories. Each tale is prefaced with a brief introduction and which tribes this tales was passed through. The tale is then written out on the following pages with descriptive pictures. I would suggest this book as fun, independent reading as a supplement to learning the life and beliefs of North American Indians.
