A selection of traditional tales from various Indian peoples, each accompanied by instructions for related activities dealing with aspects of the environment.
A great teacher's companion book! Native American stories are combined with environmental activities for children. No matter what culture one associate's with, we all share one planet, Mother Earth. ( )
Simple stories, engaging activities. This book starts with a chapter relating Native American myths to science, followed by a chapter advising how to best use the book. Each of the subsequent chapters, covering broad topics, contains 1-6 tribal stories followed by a summary of relevant science, and 1 or more learning activities for ages 5-8 and 9-12. Tribes represent many parts of North America, from Abenaki in the NE to Dine & Hopi in the SW, from Nisqually in the NW to Muskokee in the SE (altho they are listed as Oklahoma, they originated in the Georgia area), and more. The only direction missing in the SE tribes. Topics covered are: Creation, Fire, Earth, Wind and Weather, Water, Sky, Seasons, Plants and Animals, Life Death and Spirit, and Unity of Earth. There is an index to the lessons intended and a glossary with pronunciation guide. A separate teacher's guide was not reviewed.

BIRDFOOT'S GRAMPA The old man must have stopped our car two dozen times to climb out and gather into his hands the small toads blinded by our lights and leaping, live drops of rain.
The rain was falling, a mist about his white hair and I kept saying you can't save them all, accept it, get back in we've got places to go.
But, leathery hands full of wet brown life, knee deep in the summer roadside grass, he just smiled and said they have places to go to too. --Joseph Bruchac "Entering Onondaga"

Long ago, there were no stories in the world.
[Introduction] If this book were an animal, the stories would be its skeleton and the related activities would be the flesh and sinew on those bones.
"Who are you?" someone asks. "I am the story of myself," comes the answer.
