I believe the author is the late Paula Giese, and she certainly doesn't
make any points with me for her patronizing attitude toward schoolteachers
as well as for her panning of Lynn Reid Banks' Indian in the Cupboard:
http://www.kstrom.net/isk/books/baddies/badmenu.html
One of the issues raised, though, is whether it is reasonable
to suggest as she does (if I interpret her correctly) that only a person
with the proper Native American Indian lineage is equipped to comment
about Native American culture with any legitimacy.
I can imagine what Ms. Giese would have said about the Western/Indian
theme of construction toys issued by that company whose name must
not be mentioned here.
