<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Pia,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to reach out to you and the entire library community. My name is Jennifer Belle and I work in the Office of Indian Education at ODE. I would be happy to discuss this and any subject with you anytime. Part of my tasks have been
to build a booklist that can be paired with TH/SH curriculum or read by any age group. I have also worked with Cheyanne Heidt, the Curriculum Specialist at Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and she has a great recommended reading list at the following link:
<a href="https://www.grandronde.org/history-culture/culture/curriculum/other-resources/">
https://www.grandronde.org/history-culture/culture/curriculum/other-resources/</a> I will warn it is difficult to open because of the format, something we are hoping to update this year.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Native communities are very much alive and in the present, with over 55,000 Native students being served in the state of Oregon. We have learned that Oregon is leading the country in Native student support and representation and we are
currently working to update the country's only active Student Success Plan that specifically addresses Native American and Tribal implemented criteria in education.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the past year our office has grown from 2 people to 7, so we are growing rapidly. This leaves us free to help the education community. April Campbell is an Assistant Superintendent at ODE and the Director of the Office of Indian Education,
and she is a member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. SB 13 and Tribal History Shared History is run by Brent Spencer, who is a member of the Confederated Tribes of Umatilla, and he is responsible for organizing and implementing Tribal-approved curriculum.
Please feel free to reach out to me and I can talk about your needs with my team. There are so many wonderful resources we have gathered. Our mission is to provide access to authentic Native American history and culture in schools and to support the needs
of every Native student and family. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for posting on this subject. I am so excited to share what we do and I will help post to the library community anything that will help educate students and educators in authentic and current Native American information. All state
departments have an embedded librarian through the state library and the state librarian who works with ODE is Natalie Brandt, who is amazing and loves collaboration, so she could be a wonderful resource as well. We work with her often. Our mission can only
be a success with the help and interest of Oregon educators. My signature below contains a direct link to our website. Our office supplies a monthly Newsletter you can sign up for on our resources page. We also have monthly office hours open to the community
to meet our team and ask questions. You can find the link below my signature. These are held the 3<sup>rd</sup> Wednesday of each month at 1:30 PM. ***FYI, that is tomorrow!!!*** Spread the word about what we do, we are here for everybody.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Be well and safe,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have a 4th grade teacher in one of our elementary schools looking for a read aloud about the Oregon Trail that includes the Settler's perspective and the Native American perspective. Does anyone have any ideas for titles to recommend
to them?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also thought that I can benefit from the answers received from this listserv and broad your suggestions to books k-12 from authors and perspectives of our Oregon tribes, whether they are fiction or nonfiction. I checked ODE lesson plans
and resources for <a href="https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator-resources/standards/socialsciences/Pages/SB13_SocialSciences.aspx" target="_blank">
SB13 Tribal History/Shared History: Social </a><a href="https://www.oregon.gov/ode/educator-resources/standards/socialsciences/Pages/SB13_SocialSciences.aspx" target="_blank">Sciences</a> and the <a href="https://www.oregon.gov/ode/students-and-family/equity/NativeAmericanEducation/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">Oregon

<p class="MsoNormal">I will collect the answers I receive and provide a list for everyone, if I get significant responses.<o:p></o:p></p>
