Synopsis
These beautiful and tender lullabies combine Native American themes with universal concerns of parenthood. Collected from the Native American peoples of the Northeast (Ojibwa), the Plains (Arapaho, Kiowa, Pawnee, Crow), the Southwest (Hopi, Acoma, Yuma), the Northwest (Kwakiutl, Haida, Tsimshian), and the Arctic (Inuit), the lullabies are illustrated with the gorgeous photographs of Edward S. Curtis, printed in duotone. Simply expressed yet deeply felt, these brief poems offer an intimate look at Native American family life.

From School Library Journal
K Up-A short picture book, charming in its presentation. Eleven full-page, black-and-white photographs provide gorgeous accompaniment to the poetry. "Free renderings" of literal translations of native songs, the selections have been "reworked" for English-speakers' ears. Taken from more than 12 arctic and north- and southwest tribes, the lullabies are just what lullabies are the world over-quiet little ways to convince children to sleep. These poem/songs offer a beautiful way to remind students of the daily lives and common humanity of some of this country's natives. The title is from an Ojibwa song. Poems and photos on each spread are from the same locale (while not necessarily the same tribe). There are two pages of notes and a detailed list of sources, which includes material collected from 1844 to 1993. Unfortunately, there is no information offered about the renowned photographer, who spent 30 years among Native Americans in the early part of the 20th century.
