From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This comprehensive books is an amalgam of informational text on how to involve children in wildlife activities and Native American folktales featuring the animals on which the activities are focused. The book is strategically organized by location of the tribe, with stories, discussion, questions, and then activities to enable children to apply the information they have learned to real life experiences."; "Amazing resource. I can't believe this series of books has been around for over 30 years and I only recently discovered it. The books in this series are promoted as being intended for children, but I find that a majority of the topics fit easily into adult education, and adults love the associated activities. Highly recommended, especially for adult education teacher looking for ways to decolonize the curriculum!"
