I dropped off K late this morning. Free play had ended and they were already doing circle time. The teacher was holding up a picture of a teepee and telling the kids about Indians. As I walked out, I heard K asking, "Did they live a long time ago?"
K knows a little about India. We have a book about it. He knows that it's so far away that you have to go on a plane for a whole day to get there. He knows we have family there and that his grandparents grew up there and recently returned from a long visit. He knows that some things in our house come from India. But I'm not sure if we've ever used the term "Indian" to describe anything or anyone.
Tonight I might just have to blow K's mind by informing him that HE is an Indian.
