3 Lakota Grandmother Stories - Health Lessons for Young People.
Sneve, Virginia Driving Hawk
Presenting a different situation dealing with the importance of health care, these three Lakota short stories involve two Lakota Sioux children, Joe and his sister Marie. In "Clean Hands", Joe and Marie discuss the importance of clean hands with their grandmother. "A Hospital Trip" is about Joe's stay in the hospital after he cuts his ankle on a sharp corner of a rusty old car hood and does not tell his mother about it in time to prevent infection. In "Toothy Troubles", Marie is worried about losing her teeth after her grandmother has to get false teeth because her teeth had decayed. These stories can be used with elementary school children.
