Review Quotes

""Lessons from Turtle Island" is the book I've been waiting for in my work with young children. It provides a framework for understanding the complex issues surrounding the inclusion of Native American cultures and peoples in early childhood programs. The authors offer clear guidelines and specific resources to help teachers incorporate Native American perspectives and experiences into the daily life of the classroom in ways which both acknowledge similarities and affirm differences among people. I'm eager to share this book with other teachers!"

--Ann Pelo, classroom teacher at Hilltop Children's Center in Seattle, and coauthor of "That's Not Fair: A Teacher's Guide to Activism with Young Children"
