[aisle] Thanksgiving Book

[Kathy Mackle Tiffany]

What about  If You Lived During the Plimoth Thanksgiving?

It just came out 11/1/21 and the SLJ review is below.



School Library Journal
(9/1/2021)
Gr 2–5—A welcome addition to the picture book history collection. Newell is a member of the Passamaquoddy Tribe; Nelson is a member of the Leech Lake Band of Minnesota Chippewa. Together they provide an account of the arrival of the of English colonists to the shores of North America in a region where the Wampanoag, the People of the First Light, had been living for thousands of years. Providing alternating information from the perspectives of the Wampanoag (and other tribes and nations) and European colonists offers a more comprehensive, full-circle look at these events and their devastating aftermath. The text does a remarkable job of giving larger context to the complexity of Indigenous life prior to colonization as well as the difference between the cultures regarding concepts such as land ownership and environmental stewardship. The author covers events through the creation of the holiday called Thanksgiving today and how other cultures give thanks, including a discussion of Indigenous Peoples' Day. Use of the present tense makes it clear that Wampanoag are still here and that the story of the U.S. is not yet finished; to better understand the past is to create a more equitable and inclusive future. VERDICT This essential book should replace many established titles on the shelves; it never shies away from pitting hard history against a mythology that is not helpful to students living in the 21st century.—John Scott, Baltimore County P.S.

We are Thankful by Traci Sorell is about the Cherokee celebration of thanks - not the Anglo Thanksgiving, but thematically similar.

Good Morning,

I have an elementary teacher who is looking for a book about Thanksgiving that is sensitive to the Native American's perspective.  Any ideas??

Thanks,
Sherry Sejnost

Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
