[Debbie Reese]

If your district blocks tinyurls, here's the 
complete link to the essay on BEARSTONE:

And if your district blocks blogs, write to me 
directly at debreese at illinois.edu and I'll paste it into an email reply to you.

There is so much in Haladay's essay to think 
about....  how Hobbs Native protagonist has no 
sensitivity regarding human remains. It doesn't 
add up, yet, the book got such acclaim! Why or 
why can't people think critically about the ways 
that American Indians are portrayed in children's and YA lit?!

Thanks,
Debbie
