I would just like to say "great job" on the Haida legends project. I hope another one is planned for the 4th grade class of this year and the next! I am saying this because when I was taught about the history of Native Americans (I was in fourth grade 7 years ago), the sudies were biased against the People. We only learned about how they helped the pilgrims (the pilgrims being the true "fathers of the nation", me being from the United States)) and how they gave trouble to the pioneers of the West. It pleases me to see that the school systems have taken giant steps in teaching about the people whose land we now live on. Thanks! Keep up the good work!
