5-0 out of 5 stars 1st Grader Digs History!
My first grader & I are really enjoying "History Pockets, Native American".We plan to use more "History Pockets"!!! Great fun & educational!!!

3-0 out of 5 stars Lots of coloring, some careless inaccuracies
I think this is best for a portfolio and art. It's not bad but...twice in the Seminole section it referred to the chickees (Seminole Indian huts) being built with a platform "3 feet (9 meters)" off the ground. Three feet does not equal nine meters. In the glossary, it also confused the children by giving an inaccurate definition for hominy that was actually a description of another dish mentioned in the text, a softer, pudding like-dish. Since there was a recipe for hominy, this is really confusing to the students. Also, it is tagged as being for first to third grade but the reading level is fourth to sixth. It would be better to omit the grade level marking altogether IMO.

5-0 out of 5 stars History Pockets
My daughter loves using the History Pockets.We used the History Pockets: Ancient Civilizations, Grades 1-3 last year and it made learning a lot of fun.One thing that I learned last year was to make copies and gather materials the night before so that our activity went smoothly.These are great tools for all students.

3-0 out of 5 stars It was okay
While the History Pocket books are great for making a book, they are a little boring by themselves. There is too much coloring and not enough learning. We have learned more by reading library books, the encyclopedia, watching an educational show, or talking about the subjects.

When we purchased these, I liked the idea. But, after wasting a lot of our homeschool day with the children coloring (by day 3, coloring had turned into scribbles) I decided to use these as supplemental activities. We read and do art projects. We talk about the subjects.

My kids liked this HP the best, and actually did quite a few of the activities from it. I found it is best used at the end of the day, so if they spend a lot of time on it, it's okay.

We have several of the HP products. Now, we let the kids chose which ones looked "fun", and skip the rest.

While it is nice to have a book to look at afterwards, I feel they do not serve a great purpose. (And they are a waste of printer paper and ink.) They are nice if you need a "work sample" for school, but I feel they are just "busy work". History can be learned in much more interesting ways.

4-0 out of 5 stars HPs are always fun and full of quality activities that my boys enjoy
I really like the History Pockets series - they're wonderful. And, this book is quite good and full of a variety of age appropriate activities that my boys really enjoyed.However, I question how some of the tribes were selected; specifically, the Seminoles of the Southeast Region.While the HP units can stand alone quite well as a unit study, I like to complement them with additional information and activities for my boys.I found it particularly difficult to find any complementary information/activities for the Seminoles.I think the Cherokee tribe would have been a much better choice.The same holds true for the Maidu tribe of the Californias - very limited information available to supplement. Also, I wish that this book had included tribes for the Great Basin and the Sub-Arctic regions.To include these two areas would make this unit completely comprehensive and thorough.Nonetheless, it is a good resource to have and follow as part of an early elementary study on Native Americans. ...

Product Description

Scientific evidence has made it abundantly clear that the world's population can no longer continue its present rate of consuming and despoiling the planet's limited natural resources. Scholars, activists, politicians, and citizens worldwide are promoting the idea of sustainability, or systems and practices of living that allow a community to maintain itself indefinitely.Despite increased interest in sustainability, its popularity alone is insufficient to shift our culture and society toward more stable practices. Gary Holthaus argues that sustainability is achievable but is less a set of practices than the result of a healthy worldview. Learning Native Wisdom: Reflections on Subsistence, Sustainability, and Spirituality examines several facets of societies -- cultural, economic, agricultural, and political -- seeking insights into the ability of some societies to remain vibrant for thousands of years, even in extremely adverse conditions and climates. Holthaus looks to Eskimo and other Native American peoples of Alaska for the practical wisdom behind this way of living.Learning Native Wisdom explains why achieving a sustainable culture is more important than any other challenge we face today. Although there are many measures of a society's progress, Holthaus warns that only a shift away from our current culture of short-term abundance, founded on a belief in infinite economic growth, will represent true advancement. In societies that value the longevity of people, culture, and the environment, subsistence and spirituality soon become closely allied with sustainability.Holthaus highlights the importance of language as a reflection of shared cultural values, and he shows how our understanding of the very word subsistence illustrates his argument. In a culture of abundance, the term implies deprivation and insecurity. However, as Holthaus reminds us, "All cultures are subsistence cultures." Our post-Enlightenment consumer-based societies obscure or even deny our absolute dependence on soil, air, sunlight, and water for survival.This book identifies spirituality as a key component of meaningful cultural change, a concept that Holthaus defines as the recognition of the invisible connections between people, their neighbors, and their surroundings. For generations, native cultures celebrated and revered these connections, fostering a respect for past, present, and future generations and for the earth itself.Ultimately, Holthaus illustrates how spirituality and the concept of subsistence can act as powerful guiding forces on the path to global sustainability. He examines the perceptions of cultures far more successful at long-term survival than our own and describes how we might use their wisdom to overcome the sustainability crisis currently facing humanity.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Memorable Book
I remember reading this book as a kid, and I still have the well used book to read to my daughter. I real classic.

5-0 out of 5 stars Swift Arrow
I remember this book from childhood, when it was read to us in class(3rd or 4th grade), I purchased it and read it as an adult, and it's still a GREAT story.

5-0 out of 5 stars favorite
This book has been an all time favorite of mine. I've read it over and over since I was a child and now my children (ages 5-14) still enjoy it as a family read aloud. Josephine Edwards was a fabulous story teller and did wonderful "weeks of prayer" for my elementary school when I was a child. Thanks to her family for the effort they put into getting this story back into print for another generation!

5-0 out of 5 stars A great family read!
Fun for the whole family. Read this a chapter at a time at bedtime. My children couldn't wait for the next chapter each evening! Thank you for a wonderful family story!

4-0 out of 5 stars The same, and not the same.
I remember this book from my childhood 40-some years ago.Though the text is the same, it's not the original publisher.The book is put together more cheaply in this edition; past the cover, it just has a cheesy look to it.I realize that I'm making a subjective statement, and a relative one as well, but overall the book just doesn't have the quality to it that I hoped it would have.Thank goodness the story is still as good as it always was! ...
