I stumbled across a fabulous site that proclaims to offer ‘bias-free teaching and educational resources related to Native American, First Nations, Indigenous and Aboriginal studies.” GoodMinds.com  is an aboriginal-owned family business based on the Six Nations of Grand River, Ontario. The site provides a compilation of storybooks and novels, along with accompanying classroom activities. Some of the featured book titles include:

• As I Remember It, by Morin, Tara Lee  —- (first-hand account of being raised on a reserve)
  
• Indian Horse, by Wagamese, Richard —- (touches on deep issues such as alchoholism)
• 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book, Hill, Gord — (recounts the resistance against european colonization)
• Adventures of Rabbit and Bear Paws: The Voyageurs. Solomon, Chad — (recounts early contact with fur traders)
• Aboriginal Peoples in Canada: Teacher Resource. GoodMinds.com — (teacher resource focusing on residential schooling)

These are only a few of the many titles suggested. My initial delving has shown that several books would be easily transferable to the classroom. I plan to look more in-depth into a few titles in future web-posts.
