I haven't seen Barack Obama's best selling book Of thee I sing but I have heard about it - a letter to his two daughters, featuring 13 "groundbreaking Americans and the ideals that have shaped our nation."
This is a post by Debbie Reese, a Nambe Pueblo Indian from the Upper Village, on her blog : American Indians in Children's Literature. She talks about the book in general and about the entry on Sitting Bull in particular - I found this thoughtful analysis interesting - with reference to this title, and in general about respecting indigenous cultures.
