2.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful but inaccurate...,
By Surf4info (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Omaha (Watts Library) (Paperback)
As the librarian for the K-12 school on the Omaha Indian Reservation in Macy, NE, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to purchase a book for the children to reflect their culture. This volume is filled with beautiful photographs and drawings, is laid out sensibly, but is filled with inaccuracies and errors. People are identified incorrectly in photos, and basic understandings about the Sky People and the Earth People are completely reversed. A page by page review by tribal elders and scholars have found errors from beginning to end. Representatives of the tribe are sending a plea to the publisher for corrections. My hope is that they respond favorably and fix the errors to make this a book of value and accuracy.
