Thanks to continuing sponsorship by the UW-L School of Education and the Murphy Library Endowment Fund, the Alice Hagar Curriculum Resources Center was able to host the third in a series of annual programs on multicultural children's literature and its integration into the PK-middle school curriculum.

The images on this page are from the 2009 program, which was titled Native Americans and Children's Literature: A discussion of resources for PK-Middle School. The presenter was Debbie Reese, Assistant Professor, American Indian Studies, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  She is a well-known expert on the topic and is also a member of the Nambe Pueblo Tribe in northern New Mexico.  Please see her blog for more information on the topic.  Over 75 students, librarians and teachers attended the two presentations, which included exhibits of children’s books and curriculum materials.
