American Indians In Children's Literature
Native Americans have been featured in numerous works of children's literature. Some have been authored by non-Indigenous writers, while others have been written or contributed to by Indigenous authors. Children’s literature about Native Americans There are many works of children's literature that feature Native Americans. Some are considered classics, such as ''Little House on the Prairie'' by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and some are award winners, such as ''The Matchlock Gun'' by Walter D. Edmonds. These classics, however, contain images of Native Americans that are biased, stereotypical, and inaccurate (Reese, 2008).

Nouns in Dakota can be broken down into two classes, primitive and derivative. Primitive nouns are nouns whose origin cannot be deduced from any other word (for example or earth, or fire, and or father), while derivative nouns are nouns that are formed in various ways from words of other grammatical categories. Primitive nouns stand on their own and are separate from other words. Derivative nouns, on the other hand, are formed by the addition of affixes to words in other grammatical categories. Verbs Verbs in Dakota can appro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
