There has been a growing attempt to expand tribal culture studies in schools for Indian children. Hopefully, Native American studies increases the awarness for non-Indian child- ren and teachers of the ways of livinci and being other than those ways they value as their own.There are positive results from in- corporating Indian culture studies in either setting. This list of resources includes materials prenared by Indians and non-Indians, for Indian and/or non-Indian children. It is com- prehensive rather than selective, with emphasis on the study of Arizona Indians. By including annotations the authors of the guide feel that teachers and children would he better able to choose those items which they regarded as suitable for their particular needs or purposes. It is our hope that the list All be of use to the teacher in the planning of units, arranging of resource centers, for suuest- ino materials to individual children or for ohtaininn further infor- mation. Pe 'lso hope that the user will continue to enlarge upon this bibliography which we have begun in a five-week workshop. 1 All of the books mentioned are generally available.
