On Tuesday, March 18th, 2014, the blog for the Sealaska Heritage Institute pointed readers to American Indians in Children's Literature as a user friendly source to find information that can help schools and communities improve on what they offer to their youth. From their site:
"The Sealaska Heritage Institute was founded in 1980 to promote cultural diversity and cross-cultural understanding. The institute is governed by a Board of Trustees and guided by a Council of Traditional Scholars. Its mission is to perpetuate and enhance Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures of Southeast Alaska."

And here's a screen shot of the page. I'm sharing it here because it means a great deal to me for AICL to be recognized by the institute. I use materials at their site a great deal as I review children's books set in Alaska.
