American Indian Literature: An Anthology by Alan R. Velie

This book is a collection of short stories and poems about Native American. This is not particularly a book for small children, but maybe for young adults or children who may live on the reservations. These poems are both humorous and relevant to a Native Americans culture.

Extension: With the short stories (in this book) it would be a great way to introduce another culture. We could show pictures, and make frybread.
