Winner of the 1961 Newbery Medal, The Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell had a deep impact on my guest, novelist Rachel Toalson. We chat about growing up as the child of a librarian, the lasting influence of amazing teachers, and how portrayals of survival and resilience in our favorite books can make us feel seen and heard during a difficult childhood. Rachel also talks to me about her wonderful new book, The Woods, out now from Little Bee Books.You can learn more about Rachel on her website www.racheltoalson.com and follow her on Instagram and Twitter @racheltoalson.

In our ongoing quest to become better librarians by reading every genre (regardless of our actual interest) we tackle Aboriginal, Indigenous, and First Nations Books. This episode we're looking at another thematic genre/non-genre, so join us as we discuss the problems of reading aboriginal or indigenous characters written by non-indigenous authors, how we really didn’t get enough education in First Nations/Native Americans in school, and why it’s hard to find Australian Aboriginal or Sami books in Vancouver libraries.

Maybe start with: This article by Indigenous Foundations - an information resource on Aboriginal peoples in Canada from the University of British Columbia This article on the legacy of the child welfare system on Canadian Aboriginal Communities from the First Nations newspaper, First Nations Drum The plain ol’ Wikipedia entry on the Sixties Scoop Remaining Aztec Codices JK Rowling under fire via CBC and The Guardian El Supremo Dictador, who forced racially integrated marriage in Paraguay “In order to destroy the colonial racial hierarchy which had also discriminated against him because of his mixed blood, Francia forbade Europeans from marrying other Europeans, thus forcing the élite to choose spouses from among the local population.” Originally discovered via this comic The Super Shamou comic and a rather scrambled safety video! Matthew Henson, the first African-American explorer in the arctic, and the review of the (problematic) comic recently written about him That moon landing was sooooooooo fake! Podcasts Métis in Space podcast from Indian and Cowboy podcasting Ryan McMahon (who pretty much is Indian and Cowboy podcasting) is also doing some amazing podcasting on Truth and Reconciliation in Canada in the Red Man Laughing podcast and just generally has a lot of stuff to say that’s worth hearing SS Librarianship and guest Michael Wynne on cataloguing First Nations and Aboriginal materials Questions Are there any First Nations mysteries? Are there Indigenous/Aboriginal specific genres? Does your library have an Aboriginal/Indigenous/First Nations section, sticker, or other method of bringing attention to these titles? Is there anything that we missed, misunderstood, or misspoke on? Check out our Pinterest board and Tumblr posts for all the Aboriginal, Indigenous, and First Nations Books people in our club read (or tried to read), and follow us on Twitter!
Scott O'Dell began writing Island of the Blue Dolphins because of "anger, anger at the hunters who [...] slaughter everything that creeps or walks or flies." The Newberry Award-winning story that resulted is a compelling account of the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island and a powerful story of perseverance. In between dishing on animal companions, we find time to talk about email etiquette, dog-focused action sequences, and why Overdue is the #1 Podcast for Teens.

Thursday, October 15, 2009. Twenty years ago today, author Scott O'Dell died at the age of 91. I talk about O'Dell, his most famous book, and how his writing (and that of my other favorite books as a kid) influenced my reading interests -- and, by extension, helped inspire this podcast.
