- In picture, counting, and ABC books are "Indians" represented negatively - i.e. does "E" represent "Eskimo" and "I" present "Indian"? Are "Indians" counted?
- What stereotypes are present? Natives Americans not portrayed as human beings living in complex and accurately represented societies are probably being portrayed as a stereotype.
- How is history distorted or not distorted? Does it reflect the genuine experiences of Native Americans or does it reflect a "victory" or "conquest" by Europeans?
- How are the lifestyles depicted and what dialogue is used? Are women and elders represented positively and an integral part of society?
- Are there positive role models for Native American children?
