(NAME-MCE) "Today in History" (National Native News)

[Debbie Reese]

Dear Colleagues,

On Thursday, I blogged about Sherman Alexie's
YA book. On Friday, I added a couple of images
to my other blog (Images of Indians in Children's
Books). There is a link to it on my main blog.

I've also added a link to "Today In History" that 
links to National Native News. Click on it to read a factoid
in Native history and briefs on three stories National
Native News is covering on that day.
