More Than Bows and Arrows
Mission Statement
offers curriculum material and other
resources to foster the awareness teachers
and parents need to teach Head Start
children about American Indians accurately and respectfully.
The resource material has been carefully selected to develop accurate
understanding of Native American people, past and present.
Throughout our lives, we have been bombarded by stereotypical portrayals of
American Indians. Books, television programs, movies, and toys tend to depict
Native Americans as oversimplified feather-wearing characters. Inaccurate and
often offensive representations of American Indians are deeply rooted in the
American consciousness.
Young children believe what they see and hear. As Head Start teachers, we are in
an excellent position to teach children factual
information about American Indians and

classrooms.
Many Native American Head Start Centers throughout the country are using Native Child curriculum
material to affirm their children’s culture and identity in a positive way.
The material has also been developed for early
childhood professionals in non–Native Head Start
Centers to promote multicultural understanding and
sensitivity for both teachers and children. I recommend introducing Native Child curriculum material
to your classrooms to ensure culturally appropriate
practices.

first time since the 1940s, these booklets are made available again to the schools in their original
bilingual version, illustrated by the leading Navajo artists of the twentieth century. These bilingual
picture books are too beautiful and too historically significant to be forgotten – they describe and
illustrate traditional Navajo ways that have been slowly disappearing in the last 65 years, since they
were first printed at Phoenix Indian School.

Do's and Don'ts for Teachers
When Teaching About Native American Peoples...
• Do present Native people as appropriate role models with whom children can identify.
• Do look for books and materials written and illustrated by Native people.
• Don't use ABC books with "I is for Indian", "E is for Eskimo"... Don't use counting books that
count Indians."
• Don't use materials which negatively illustrate Native Peoples as savages, primitives, simple
or extinct.
• Do present Native Peoples as separate from each other, with unique cultures, languages, beliefs and
dress.
• Don't sing counting songs with "Indians" or use books with non-Indians/animals dressed as
Indians.
• Do avoid arts & crafts activities which trivialize Native dress, dance, beliefs.
• Don't let children do "war whoops", make paper bag costumes or paper feather "head–dresses."
• Don't use materials where Native heroes are only those who helped Europeans.
• Do use materials which show the continuity of Native societies from past to present.
• Don't speak as though "Indians" were here only for the benefit of the colonists.
• Don't teach "Indians" only at Thanksgiving, or make charts about "gifts Indians gave us".
• Do invite Native community members and artists to the classroom for arts demonstrations
and lectures.Treat them as educators not entertainers.
• Don't have children make "Indian" crafts unless you know the authentic methods and have
proper materials.
• Do show Native societies as living in a delicate balance with nature. Don't portray Native peoples as
the "first ecologists".
• Do use materials which show elders, women and children as integral and important to Native
societies.
• Do use respectful language when teaching about Native peoples. Don't use offensive terms
such as "squaw", "brave", "papoose", etc.
• Don't use materials where Native characters speak in "old jawbreaker" or the oratorical style of the
"noble savage".
• Don't refer to Native spirituality as "superstition", nor make up songs, dances, legends or ceremonies,
et al.
• Don't refer to Native Peoples as the "Red Race", "Redskins" or "Red Man".
• And most of all, teach children about Native Americans in a way which you would like used
to depict your cultural/racial/ethnic origin.

Teaching Kids the Wonderful Diversity of American Indians
The awareness teachers and parents need to teach Head Start children about
American Indians accurately and respectfully.
By Bernhard Michaelis, Founder, Native Child
This article is reprinted from Children and Families, Vol.XVI No.4 , Fall 1997, the journal of
the National Head Start Association. Children and Families is published quarterly for NHSA
members. For information on joining NHSA, please call (703) 739-0875.
"Don't yell like a bunch of wild Indians!"
shouts a mother trying to quiet her children in
a supermarket in Cortez, Colorado. A longtime American Indian Head Start teacher from
the Navajo Reservation is standing close by,
feeling hurt and insulted. "We would never say
that to our Head Start kids," the teacher explains. "But I hear things like that all the time
when I go shopping off the Reservation." The
teacher's frustration is understandable.
Throughout our lives, we have been bombarded by stereotypical portrayals of American
Indians. Books, television programs, movies,
and toys tend to depict Native Americans as
oversimplified feather-wearing characters.
Inaccurate and often offensive representations
of American Indians are deeply rooted in the
American consciousness.
As a result, we have become desensitized to
terminology and imagery that is offensive to
American Indians. For example, we might not
think it's odd to ask our kids to line up Indian
file. And we might not see any reason our kids
shouldn't dress up and play Indians.
American Indian children who frequently
encounter stereotypical images of their cultures are hindered in developing a feeling of
pride in their heritage and a healthy self-image.
When asked, there are American Indian
preschoolers who will say they are not Indians. Why? Because they have already learned
from popular movies and cartoons that Indians wear feathers and face paint and live in
tipis and carry tomahawks. Preschoolers don't
look like that, so they don't consider themselves Indians.
Young children believe what they see and
hear. As Head Start teachers, we are in an
excellent position to teach children factual
information about American Indians and at
the same time dispel any myths or stereotypes
that have entered our classrooms.
American Indians are not all the same
One of the most popular misconceptions
about American Indians is that they are all the
same - one homogenous group of people who
look alike, speak the same language, and share
the same customs and history. Nothing could
be further from the truth.
Although American Indians make up less than
one percent of the U.S. population, American
Indians represent half of the nation's languages and cultures.This statistic may seem
incredible, but remember that American
Indians were the soul inhabitants of this
continent until Europeans arrived only five
centuries ago. Before that, Native Americans
had thousands of years to migrate across the
country in small groups and, in relative isolation from one another, develop unique cultural identities.
Today there are about 500 American Indian
tribes, each with its own language and cultural traditions.The Diné Nation (Navajo) is by
far the largest, with 170,000 members. Other
large tribes include the Oglala Sioux, Cherokee Nation, Blackfeet, Fort Apache, Gila River,
Hopi, Papago, San Carlos Apache, Rosebud
Sioux, and Zuñi Pueblo. Almost half of all
tribes have fewer than 1,000 members, but
they still have their own unique identity. From
tribe to tribe, there are large differences in
clothing, housing, life-styles, and cultural
practices.
Sadly, these differences are not appreciated by
most non-Native Americans, because the rich
diversity of American Indians is not reflected,
nor is it presented accurately, in readily available teaching materials, popular entertainment, and children's toys.Toy manufacturers
typically misrepresent American Indians by
creating toys that, for example, mix the tipi
from the Plains culture or the totem pole from
the Northwest Pacific Coast groups with the
Navajo rug, loom, or desert plants from the
Southwest groups.
The truth about feathers and headbands
We are all familiar
with the popular use
of a headband with
one feather or a
headdress containing
numerous feathers
(warbonnet) as symbols for Indian imagery. And many of us encourage our children to
make feather headbands - after all, we made
them when we were kids. But these
headbands are a trite representation of American Indians.
Historically, eagle feathers were worn only by
certain members of the Plains cultural groups
who had distinguished themselves as worthy
of such adornment. Feathered headdresses
were not worn as everyday clothing, but
rather for special ceremonial occasions.Today,
feathers still carry highly religious meaning in
most tribes. Making feathered fans in tribes for
Pow Wows and religious ceremonies is accompanied by appropriate prayers and songs.
Handling feathers is not taken lightly.
Despite the purpose of feathers in certain
American Indian cultures, it might seem a
little severe to stop making feather headbands
in Head Start classrooms. After all, it's just a
fun way of introducing our children to Indians. But as teachers, would we put a Catholic
priest's robe in the dramatic play area?
Strategies for teaching about American
Indians accurately
American Indian tribes all over this country
are putting enormous effort into preserving,
restoring, and reviving their cultural heritages
for future generations.There are specific
strategies Head Start teachers and parents can
embrace to assist in this process.
For instance, instead of teaching children that
"Indians lived in tipis," which incorrectly
implies that all American Indians lived in tipis,
explain that different tribes lived in different
dwellings. For example, the Pueblo Indians
lived (and some still do) in terraced-style
stone and adobe houses.The people of the
Northwest lived in spacious buildings made of
wood. Some tribes in the East lived in huge
longhouses constructed of tree poles and
bark.The Navajos (Diné) of the Southwest
lived in hogans, a hexagon tree pole structure
covered with mud. Still others lived in structures adapted to nomadic life, using wooden
poles and coverings available from the surrounding environment.
Today, of course, Native Americans live in
houses, apartments, and mobile homes. It is
important to point this out to children and
teach them about the many aspects of life
among contemporary Native Americans.
Otherwise, children may think that Indians are
extinct.
When referring to one tribe or Indian nation,
use its correct name: Cheyenne, Hopi,Apache,
and so forth. Choose books that focus on a
single tribe. Make sure that the depiction of
housing, life-style, clothing and so forth is
accurate for the specific group.
Make sure your books portray Indians in a
respectful manner. For example, books with
illustrations of animals, cartoon characters, or
children at play wearing headdresses, pipes, or
other items sacred to American Indians are
especially offensive and disrespectful. Such
illustrations do not encourage us to view
Native Americans as human beings.
When evaluating books, toys, or play activities,
ask yourself these questions: Is there anything
that would embarrass or hurt a Native child?
Is there anything that would foster stereotypical thinking in a non-Indian child? If you're
not certain which materials are appropriate,
use it as a learning opportunity: Contact
American Indian Head Start staff members to
expand your knowledge.
In the dramatic play area, dress your American
Indian dolls in the same clothing as your other
dolls. Bring out native clothing, such as moccasins, dancing shawls, and so forth, only on
special occasions.
When purchasing posters and pictures of
children for your classroom, choose ones with
multiracial groups, including American Indians.This will help give the children, staff,
parents, and visitors in your Head Start classroom a greater appreciation for the wonderful
racial diversity of Americans.
At Thanksgiving time, shift the focus away
from reenacting the First Thanksgiving and
decorating your classroom with Pilgrims and
Indians. Instead, focus on things the children
can be thankful for in their own lives.Teaching about American Indians only at Thanksgiving exclusively from a historical perspective
will promote the idea that they exist only in
the past.
Increase your knowledge about American
Indians by looking for Pow Wows - social or
religious gatherings - in your area. Contact the
organizers and ask whether you and your
students can attend. Invite American Indians
to your classroom to discuss their culture.
Treat them as educators for your children, not
entertainers.
A challenging and rewarding
undertaking
Not all American Indian communities have
had the same historical experience and because each American Indian is unique, what
may be offensive to one may not be offensive
to another. For example, most Native Americans find the popular Head Start song "Ten
Little Indians" offensive. But others don't mind
it. One American Indian Head Start teacher
sings an enlightening variation of the song in
which she adds verses for "Ten Little Mexicans," "Ten Little African-Americans," and so
on.
The diversity of American Indian cultures is so
grand that it may be challenging to comprehend.Yet, as educators and parents, it is our
responsibility to try. Just the act of trying to
inform ourselves about American Indians is a
great sign of respect. And using your new
knowledge and common sense will go a long
way in helping us successfully determine how
to best teach our children about American
Indians.

Navajo Weapon – the Navajo Code Talkers
by Sally Mcclain
item # 564 $ 16.95
Based on first-person accounts and Marine Corps documents, this
newly revised edition of Navajo Weapon: The Navajo Code Talkers
describes how the U.S. Marine Corps recruited young Navajo warriors to create a secret code, using their native language that many of
them had once been forbidden to speak. The Navajo Code Talkers
played decisive roles in the Pacific Theater and helped turned the
tide in the bloody battles for Bougainville, Cape Gloucester, New
Britain, Saipan, Guam, Peleliu, and Iwo Jima. Their unbreakable
code helped save countless American lives and earned the Navajo
Code Talkers the undying respect of their comrades in arms. 54 rare,
historic photographs and maps.

Warriors – Navajo Code Talkers
by Mark Bahti
by Kenji Kawano
“When I was going to boarding school, the U.S.
government told us not to speak Navajo,” recalls
Teddy Draper Sr. of Chinle, Arizona, “but during
the war, they wanted us to speak it!” Speaking
their native language--which the Japanese could
not decode--Navajo soldiers were instrumental
in U.S. marine victories in the Pacific during
World War II, relaying vital information between
the front lines and headquarters. Kenji Kawano,
a native Japanese photographer whose black
and white images of surviving “code talkers” are
unusual for their sensitivity, notes with some
irony that these soldiers were his father’s enemies
at one time.
Item # 563 $ 19.95
In A Guide to Navajo Sandpaintings, noted Native American arts authority Mark Bahti describes
the history and development of this healing
art. For each of the more than sixty individual

Heart Vision 2000
by Rutherford Ashley (Diné)
Navajo writer Rutherford Ashley, 25, presents his first book, an ambitious debut titled Heart Vision 2000 – Within Their Hearts Stand Many
More...The writings in this collection not only explore serious subjects
like childhood sexual abuse and it’s effects, but the work also goes on
to treat the reader with slices of contemporary Navajo life at the end of
the 20th century. Some of the poems read as stories and the short stories are crafted with the emotional imagery so uniquee to Ford’s writing
style. Although fictionalized, the writings are semi–autobiographical
from the author, or are the stories of others that interrelate to the
dynamic scheme of struggle, love, hurt, joy and life callled Navajoland.
Some of these stories are, quite literally, songs of love.
Item # 568 $ 19.95
Raised in the Window Rock area on the Navajo Nation, Rutherford Ashley studied English and
Liteature at Arizona State University (Tempe, Az).
One hundred documents written by Diné men,
women, and children speaking for themselves
and on behalf of their communities are collected in this book. Discovered during Iverson’s
research for Diné: A History of the Navajos,
these letters, speeches, and petitions, almost
all previously unpublished, provide a uniquely
moving portrait of the Diné during an era in
which they were fighting to defend their lands
and to build the Navajo Nation.
Item # 569 $ 29.95
If you order Heart Vision for your
classroom (10 copies or more), it
will be half price: $ 9.95
Childhood sexual abuse, alcoholism, economic depression and homosexuality are only a few subjects that Ford dares to write about – in fact the process of
writing is his way of coming to terms with scars that childhood memories and contemporary life on the Rez left on his soul. A book that can be quite disturbing at times - yet it can be used as a starting point for an open and necessary discussion on the far reaching and lasting effects that alcohol has on individuals
and the Nation. A book whose content will shock the reader, yet rings familiar to everyone who has grown up on the Rez.

More of that Song And Dance
Recorded by Laura Boulton
Compiled and annotated by David McAllester and
Charlotte Frisbie
The lifestyles, philosophies, and traditions of
the Navajo nation are represented by songs
for herding, planting, harvesting, hunting,
blessing hogans, and soothing children. The
1933 and 1940 field recordings from settlements in New Mexico and Arizona beautifully
document a music largely vocal and highly
melodic with relatively short song phrases repeated, divided, and combined in intriguingly
complex ways.

Ashkii’s Journey
Navajo Long Walk
Verna Clinton
Joseph Bruchac/Shonto Begay
Item # 562 $ 18.95
Abenaki Joseph Bruchac and Navajo Shonto Begay
combine their talents to tell the tragic story of how,
in the 1860s, U.S. soldiers forced thousands of Navajos to march to a desolate reservation 400 miles
from their homeland in an effort to “civilize” them.
Hundreds died along the way; those who survived
found unspeakable living conditions at their
destination. When word of the Indians’s plight
finally gained public attention, President Andrew
Johnson sent a Peace Commission to investigate.
The resulting treaty allowed the Navajos to return
to their homeland, and ho’zho—harmony—was
restored. The Navajos prospered and have lived in
peace with the U.S. government ever since while
preserving their own proud culture.
Item # 560 $ 17.95
A twelve-year-old orphan with faraway friends and
unkind relatives, Ashkii must depend upon himself
for survival. Though Ashkii provides food for his
aunt and cousins, his cruel aunt rewards him for
his work with ridicule and scraps from the hunt. To
survive, Ashkii remembers the stories his grandfather
had told him about the years of hardship at Fort
Sumner. “A small cup of grease soup was all we were
given for food. When the soldiers ate, we had a
chance to repair our shoes, gather ’azhíí: juniper bark
to place inside our moccasins to cushion our feet.
By the time we arrived at Hwééldi, our moccasins
were tattered and in need of repair.” These memories
provide the strength and courage Ashkii needs for his
journey into manhood.

The Magic Of Spider Woman
by Lois Duncan,
Shonto Begay (Illustrator)
When the Fourth World is created, the girl who will
be Weaving Woman misses the lessons in leading a
balanced life the rest of the People receive. Spider
Woman later teaches her how to weave, and warns
her not to spend too much time at it. But she becomes obsessed with weaving a beautiful blanket-and
her spirit gets trapped in it. Spider Woman herself
has to pull a strand of wool loose to free her. To this
day, Navajo weavers leave a “spirit pathway” in their
blankets, “so the spirit of the weaver will not be
imprisoned by its beauty.” Ages 6-9.

What Does “Died” Mean?
by Marjorie Thomas
Patrick S. Begay (Illustrator)
Born in 1856 at the base of Black Mesa, Dzanibaa saw her happy childhood come to a terrifying end when U.S. soldiers attacked
and forced thousands of Navajo to walk to Fort Sumner, 450 miles from their home. Imprisoned in a land where their crops
wouldn’t grow, the Navajo were reduced to eating bug-infested flour and rotten meat. During those four long years, Dzanibaa
reached puberty, but she vowed to postpone her coming-of-age ceremony until the Navajo returned to their sacred lands. Released
from imprisonment in 1868, the Navajo were finally allowed to return to their homeland. Told in both the Navajo and English
languages, the story is beautifully illustrated in full-color paintings that vividly show the Navajo’s despair and determination during
their days at the fort.
Dzani Yazhi Naazbaa’ / Little Woman Warrior Who
“Grandmother, when will Grandfather return?” Baa Yázhí, a young Navajo girl, misses her grandfather. One day he had gone to the Trading Post, but then he had never come back. Is he still at the
Trading Post? Will he one day come riding up the road? Baa Yázhí is sure that he will, and she
watches the road for him. Grandmother has told Baa Yázhí that Grandfather has died, but Baa
Yázhí does not understand the meaning of death. However, by listening to some simple illustrations from Grandmother, Baa Yázhí slowly comes to understand. By the end of the story, Baa Yázhí
is reconciled to the loss of her grandfather and can even understand what has happened when the
family sheep dog brings home a limp rabbit.
Gift Horse: A Lakota Story
Author: S. D. Nelson
Illustrator: S. D. Nelson
A member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in the Dakotas,
the author tells a compelling coming-of-age tale from the time
when his people followed great herds of buffalo across the Great
Plains of the United States. When the young hero-narrator, a
boy of perhaps ten or eleven, is given a Gift Horse by his father,
he begins his journey to manhood. First he becomes a master
rider, then the tribe’s medicine man sends him on a lone, fourday journey of the spirit and finally he is allowed to accompany
the men of his tribe on a buffalo hunt.

These bilingual books are only available from Native Child, Inc.
Native Child, Inc. is republishing the first ever written and illustrated bilingual
readers. For the first time since the 1940s, these booklets are made available
again to the schools in their original bilingual version, illustrated by the leading Navajo artists of the twentieth century. These bilingual picture books are
too beautiful and too historically significant to be forgotten – they describe and
illustrate traditional Navajo ways that have been slowly disappearing in the last
65 years, since they were first printed at Phoenix Indian School.
We have also started to republish the bilingual Navajo Historical Series (originally
published by the US Indian Service in the fifties). They were originally created
with the help of Robert W. Young and William Morgan. The stories given by the
Diné people are told in their own words – just as they told them in Navajo, and
then were translated into English. Native Child, Inc. has left the original version
untouched and then expanded it with texts, photos and illustrations that give the
student and teacher an even better understanding of conditions at the time. And
best of all, history comes alive and will be a pleasure to study.
