Is this book okay for my child?
If you are not sure about a book your child would like to read, you can look it up age-appropriateness on http://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews and see how it is rated for message, violence, sexuality, and language. You can also check out movies and other media.
Powhatan Culture
This is a site of the Native American reservation for the Powhatan Renape Nation that is located in NJ.

Be sure to check out the interesting article on the "Myth of Pocahontas." http://www.powhatan.org/
