beginning with Citizen Potawatomi oral traditions, continuing

Tribal
Alliance for Pollinators
Tribal Alliance for Pollinators (TAP) is a new non-profit organization
born out of the groundswell of support generated by the Tribal
Environmental Action for Monarchs (TEAM). TEAM is a coalition
of seven tribal partners — Chickasaw, Seminole, Citizen
Potawatomi, Muscogee Creek, Osage, Eastern Shawnee and Miami
Nations — who are restoring monarch habitat on their lands
with the assistance of Monarch Watch and the Euchee Butterfly
Farm. The TEAM coalition has restored over 50,000 milkweeds
and 30,000 native wildflowers to date on 350 acres of habitat.

Dr.
Seuss Art
This official site features reproductions of illustrations
from Geisel's Dr. Seuss books, as well as art he did for
other books, and his own enjoyment. Be sure to visit all
five of the galleries listed under Art of Dr. Seuss, and
to read his short biography. "Sitting in his Anglo-Saxon
for Beginners class, his [Geisel's] doodling caught the
eye of a fellow American student named Helen Palmer. Helen
suggested that he should become an artist instead of a
professor. He took her advice and eventually, he took
her hand in marriage as well."

Dr.
Seuss Went to War
Although not for the preschool set, high school students
and grown-ups will find this fascinating. For two years
(1941-1943), Ted Geisel was an editorial cartoonist for
a New York newspaper. During that time he drew over 400
editorial cartoons, mostly about World War II. This collection
is organized by year, as well as by Places, People, Issues
and Battles.
