We are co-editing the forthcoming issue on women and literacy for The Change Agent and would like to include something in this area. I know of the "Empowering the Spirit" Native Literacy Curriculum from GrassRoots Press. Has anyone used this with a group of women learners? What did you do? Are there other lesson plans you have used? What are they and how did they work? Are there specific readings you have used by or about Native American women that you have found interests learners? Our deadline for adding new materials is fairly short - by July 15 - so if you have any ideas, please contact me right away. Thanks.
