Connecting Geronimo and The Braclet-Dana Packard

The novel Geronimo and the picture book The Braclet are both about the forced relocation of two different cultures. The Apache Indians and the Japanese-Americans were both forced to relocate and were put into internment camps. I think in both of these situations white Americans feared these cultures and instead of embracing their differences and learning more about them they treated them horribly. I'm ashamed and sadden to think that we could do such awful things! In both of these books the Apache Indians and the Japanese-Americans relied on the strengh of each other to get through the hard times. I think children need to be aware of different peoples background and history so that history will not repeat itself.
