Following the format of the series, a survey was conducted of teachers who use Native American poet and novelist Erdrich in a variety of classrooms asking what works they most regularly teach, what background references they recommend, and what materials they use most in teaching her. The results, along with essays, provide teachers a reference on materials, approaches, Erdrich's fictional world, pedagogical strategies, and critical and theoretical perspectives.
