African American/American Indian books for children

On Wednesday, I posted my review of Angela Shelf Medearis's book, published in 1991, DANCING WITH THE INDIANS. It is a really important family story, but its quite a mess, ruined, I think, by the passage of time. Ruined because the names of the dances are wrong, the descriptions of those dances, and, the way they're illustrated, too. Anyone know the author? Maybe she could re-do it! We definitely need a few books for children on this subject.

Tim Tingle's CROSSING BOK CHITTO is excellent, so I'm glad to know about it.
