Preface
This book of activities for children on their third year of English
Learning is intended to offer little readers a survey of some
adaptations and pieces of Native American Literature.
They will be able to discover a whole panoramic view of the most
important elements of Native American Literature and more
than anything, while they have fun and receive suitable feedback
from illustrations and activities that will provide plenty of
vocabulary and grammar structures in the target language,
teachers will find an excellent tool to make an approach to
literature through the development of the necessary skills for
reading comprehension.

The Arrow and the Song
By:
Henry W. Longfellow
I shot an arrow into the air;
It Fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a Song into the air;
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strongThat it can follow the flight of Song.
Long, long afterwards, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,I found again in the heart of a friend.

A New Dream Wuski A-Baw-Tan)
By: Jennifer Pierce Eyen (Shawnee People)
A POEM DEDICATED TO OUR ELDER, HORSE MAN
WHO PASSED OVER TO THE LAND OF THE
DEATH DREAM ONE STORMY NIGHT
I have seen the rain speak
and the wind dance
I have seen the lightning knife
cut the sky
I have seen the hills
at the first light of the day
whispering secrets
to the Southwind People’s ear
I am happy
I am no longer thirsty
I dance a warrior dance
I am not sick, I am free!
This night I dream a new dream!
Now, I come to drink the stars!

The Boy in the Moon
By: Frances Jenkins Olcott
Do you see the mark in the middle of the Moon that looks like a
man? Well, that is really a little Indian boy. It happened this way:
Many years ago, there lived a Vuntakutchin boy. One Winter when he
saw that his people had nothing to eat, he dreamed they killed a lot
of Caribou. He told his dream in the morning, and the braves set out
to hunt.
But before they went, the boy made his uncle promise that he would
give him the meat of the leader Caribou. The uncle killed the leader,
but when he came back from the hunt, he gave the boy the wrong
meat, and kept the right meat for himself.
Well, the boy felt so badly that he cried for two nights. And on the
third night he disappeared. He wore Marten-skin pants, and in the
morning his uncle saw the left leg of the pants, hanging to the tent
pole in the hole where the smoke goes out. And when the uncle went
outside the tent, he found that all the Caribou, which had been killed
the day before, had come to life again, and run away.
As for the boy, he had gone up to the Moon, and there he is now,
with one leg bigger than the other, because the right leg has pants on
it. From his hand hangs a little bag full of the wrong Caribou meat,
and during the Autumn and Winter, when the sky is clear, you may
see him standing in the Moon.
