For those who haven't seen it, YFB writes: "'For many Indian people,' they caution, "Thanksgiving" is a time of mourning.' Well, what if it's still a happy time for me - does that make me a heel?" Just a glance at <a href="http://www.oyate.org/resources/booklist.html">Oyate's list</a> shows that they have an extremely narrow range of what's acceptable and an amazingly broad range of what's not. I'm interested in having a look at what makes the cut. Susan, I saw your blog’s link to that interesting post about Oyate from Your Fairy Bookmother. For those who haven’t seen it, YFB writes:

I found "T'gving at Plymouth Plantation" at a neighboring town's library, and my son & I enjoyed it. (I especially liked the myth-busting aspect.) Cute illustrations, too. Do you know the Native American organization/publisher Oyate? Stanley's book turns up on its "books to avoid" list and I can't figure out why; Stanley handles issues with sensitivity, I thought.
