“Children of the Sun”, by
Maudie Robinson, a new book
on the shelves of the Children’s
Annex at the Back Mountain
Memorial Library, is a fresh,
well researched approach to the
life of “Native Amer cans’.
There are about 70,000 native
Americans living in their own
villages in the western half of
New Mexico. They, along with
other native Americans across
the country, believe that the sun
is the “life giver” to all people
and living things. That is why
they sometimes call themselves
“Children of the Sun’’.
The Children of the Sun are
divided itp many groups, three
of whicli®ive in New Mexico.
They are the Apache, Pueblo
and Navajo, according to the
author. It is about these three
groups that Maudie Robinson,
who is part Cherokee, and who
grew up among the Cherokee
and Choctaw in Oklahoma,
writes.
The book dramatically
reveals the close special
relationship these people have
to their land, their “Earth

history, culture and life-style of
these three tribes. From their
Earth Mother, the Children of
