Does anyone know of or use a curriculum or readings that uses Native 
American / First Nations beliefs or principles (such as the Medicine 
Wheel) and that also addresses women's issues?

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.
