I love Louise Erdrich - but I have not read The Round House. I should add that one to my "to read" list. Thank-you for the recommendation!Laura's Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904763940307902364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-34743036746702583102016-07-26T16:58:00.888-05:002016-07-26T16:58:00.888-05:00Ah, yes, I do discount the racism due to the reali...Ah, yes, I do discount the racism due to the reality that this accurately reflects beliefs at that time. However, I would contend that in so very many ways Native Americans are STILL discriminated against. Read The Round House by Louse Erdrich for a bit of knowledge about the laws on Native American "Reservations," which are, of course, the plots of land where WHITE men in control decided Native Americans COULD live. Yikes! Sorry, didn't mean to rant! Would you mind if I link this review to the Little House Read-Along 2016 page on my blog? I think it would provide yet another perspective and I think it is so wonderful that you are reading this with your children! What a great mom!Lynn @ Smoke & Mirrorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464153596817995684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-22493140744305533452016-07-25T18:56:40.728-05:002016-07-25T18:56:40.728-05:00I know - it did tarnish my view of Ma as well.

I'll be posting soon about our trip to visit a couple of the Little House sites!

Even though I knew it was realistic it did tarnsh my view of Caroline Ingalls.
