Brouillet Superintendent of Public Instruction State of Washington Cheryl Chow Assistant Superintendent Division of Instructional Programs and Services Warren H. Burton Director Office for Multicultural and Equity Education Dr. Willard E. Bill Supervisor of Indian Education Originally written and developed by Cathy Ross, Mary Robertson, Chuck Larsen, and Roger Fernandes Indian Education, Highline School District With an introduction by: Chuck Larsen Tacoma School District credits: Andre Crambit This is a particularly difficult introduction to write. I have been a public schools teacher for twelve years, and I am also a historian and have written several books on American and Native American history. I also just happen to be Quebeque French, Metis, Ojibwa, and Iroquois. Because my Indian ancestors were on both sides of the struggle between the Puritans and the New England Indians and I am well versed in my cultural heritage and history both as an Anishnabeg (Algokin) and Hodenosione (Iroquois), it was felt that I could bring a unique insight to the project.

Extractions: No bones about it. Turkey bones can get lodged in your dog's throat. Turkey or chicken bones that splinter can result in death. So you figure you'll slice the meat and offer her some without any bones. After all, what are holidays for? You love your dog. You want to share with your dog. That's good. So why do veterinarians keep warning us not to feed our dogs Thanksgiving dinner? Well, for one thing, we forget about portions. To a small dog, just three hefty slices of turkey, chicken, or ham is like you eating at least a half an entire turkey, chicken, or ham. Let's say on Thanksgiving our little Pomeranian gets a trio of those big boy slices and gets the leftovers on Friday. No wonder he doesn't feel so good by Saturday. The impact can be more severe than an upset tummy. Vets see more pancreatitis around the holidays than at any other time of the year. Eating very fatty food may cause pancreatitis, and it can be life threatening. Ham is often especially fatty (not to mention salty, and that isn't a good thing). There are lots of cases of counter surfing dogs scarfing huge hunks of meat when their owners' backs are turned, and their pancreas just can't process all that fat at once. Even lean meat can take a toll when everyone at the table contributes. Here's what can happen on holidays: Uncle Buddy says, "Fido you're so good, here's some turkey." Then, only five minutes later, Aunt Sally sneaks around a corner, "Listen, Fido you're so cute, so here's some turkey." Then surreptitiously, under the table, mom and dad Rob and Laura both sneak the dog more turkey. By the time the night is over, Fido has had more to eat than anyone at the dinner table.

Teaching Young Children About Native Americans. ERIC Digest. In teaching about Native Americans, the most relevant, CRITIQUE A THANKSGIVINGPOSTER DEPICTING THE TRADITIONAL, STEREOTYPED PILGRIM AND INDIAN FIGURES, http://www.ericdigests.org/1996-4/native.htm
Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education Urbana IL. Teaching Young Children about Native Americans. ERIC Digest. STEREOTYPES CHILDREN SEE Many popular children's authors unwittingly perpetuate stereotypes. Richard Scarry's books frequently contain illustrations of animals dressed in buckskin and feathers, while Mercer Mayer's alphabet book includes an alligator dressed as an Indian. Both authors present a dehumanized image, in which anyone or anything can become Native American simply by putting on certain clothes. TEN LITTLE RABBITS, although beautifully illustrated, dehumanizes Native Americans by turning them into objects for counting. BROTHER EAGLE, SISTER SKY (Harris, 1993) contains a speech delivered by Chief Seattle of the Squamish tribe in the northwestern United States. However, Susan Jeffers' illustrations are of the Plains Indians, and include fringed buckskin clothes and teepees, rather than Squamish clothing and homes. AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF NATIVE AMERICANS IN THE 1990s Native Americans make up less than one percent of the total U.S. population but represent half the languages and cultures in the nation. The term "Native American" includes over 500 different groups and reflects great diversity of geographic location, language, socioeconomic conditions, school experience, and retention of traditional spiritual and cultural practices. However, most of the commercially prepared teaching materials available present a generalized image of Native American people with little or no regard for differences that exist from tribe to tribe.
