How Can This Be Cinderella if There Is No Glass Slipper? Native American "Fairy Tales."

Stewart, Michelle Pagni

Studies in American Indian Literatures, v12 n1 p3-19 Spr 2000

Analysis of three Native American Cinderella-type tales finds that although each has flaws in depicting Native American culture, overall they are culturally accurate and respectful. Such tales can be used as teaching tools to help children understand Native American cultures and beliefs while making them aware of how culture and beliefs can easily be disrespected.
