- 'Les
Abenakis (de l'est) .... ils sculptaient des totems" (images de totems de Haidi
de la cote ouest)
- "les
cowboys du far west on appris des Mohawks le lancer du lasso..." Les Mohawks
vivent dans les forets d'est, C'est des autres (comme les Blackfoot) qui vivent
aux prairies avec les chevals.
- the
costume is not regalia!!! on the page that is talking about traditions (regalia
is traditional) "Les algonquins ont comme tradition...
- "Dans
certaines tribus indigenes, les chasseurs gardent la tete de leur victime en
signe de victiore..." this fact is taken out of context and perpetuates
negative stereotypes! This content is also is inappropriate for elementary
schools. The images on this page are of African aborignals, they are definately
not "les Cris".
- "La
gomme a macher est une invention des innus" Mais les Innus vivent au tondre ...
sans Arbres!

Les grands explorateurs- (une erreur) Christophe Colomb a decouvert l'Amerique... but there is no mention of the Vikings!
Espions et leurs Gadgets (une erreur)- the book explains that "d'amerindiens sont des "chasseurs d tetes". Now inappropriate fact out of context, that perpeturates negative stereotypes. We are working on rebuilding connections with First peoples, not damaging them.
Les chiens de traineau (deux erreurs) - the book says Inuit children do not need warm blankets when taking rides on the dogsled as their dogs are so warm. When it would be after dogsledding. The book makes a connection to the "1929 Krach boursier" . This in not a French word for the 1929 Stock market crash, which a child would definitely not know about.
