My transformed thoughts: reading this book, I am wondering how one becomes an Elder and where they can be reached. Are there fewer Elders all the time? Are there different types of Elders? I am also curious to know how these traditions have changed over the past decades. It would be interesting to compare a naming ceremony that would have been done to a naming ceremony that would be conducted today. Highly recommend Recommend for additional reading Any additional thoughts: ISBN: 978-9780808-3-9 Review/Critique Reviewer’s Name: Cheryl Kruchak Date: September 24th Aliki. (1976). New York, NY: Harper Collins. Corn is maize: The gift of the Indians. Why I chose this book: I chose this book because it appropriate for earlier years classrooms. It uses one central topic, corn, to tell a story that incorporates many different Aboriginal traditions. An entire science unit could be based on this one book. It has many descriptive pictures for students to see. The writing is child-friendly and it is centered around a topic that students can relate to.
