Unlocking the mystery of the lone woman from Island of the Blue Dolphins
While reading Island of the Blue Dolphins at school and learning about the real woman stranded on San Nicolás Island, ten-year-old Tíshmal begins writing emails to ''Miss Karana'' in hopes of talking to her spirit. When she arrived on the mainland of Southern California, Miss Karana spoke a language that no one could understand even back then, and all that remains is a recording of the song she sang when she was found on the island. Tíshmal realizes that some of the words sound very similar to Chamtéela (Luiseño), the language spoken on her reservation. As she writes to Miss Karana, Tíshmal becomes more and more resolved to understand the lone woman's song.
The only person able to help her is a grouchy great uncle, Wéh Powéeya (''two tongues''), the last living person fluent in the language of their ancestors from the belly button of the ocean: the islands including San Nicolás. Together, Tíshmal and Wéh Powéeya must discover what the lone woman said long ago in order to help her spirit finish the journey West.
Developed in accordance with fourth grade Common Core State Standards, Dear Miss Karana tells a compelling story of family, determination, and cultural perseverance.

By J. elliott
I am an elementary school teacher in Southern California where the social studies curriculum for 4th graders focuses on California history - notably the cultures of various Native American tribes that lived here for thousands of years before the arrival of Catholic Missionaries, Russian fur traders, and finally Europeans and Asians who stormed the state during the Gold Rush. Each of these groups profoundly impacted the world of California's Native Americans - but school children often come away from 4th grade thinking that the original people in their state are merely part of the past. This gem of a children's novel not only makes clear to young readers that local Native Americans are alive, well, and cherishing their own languages/traditions/beliefs/myths among the rest of us but also ties a present-day young girl's life on a reservation to that of the Native woman who lived alone on San Nicolas Island for 18 years old. Karana, as the island woman has become known thanks to Scott O'Dell's renowned children's novel Island of the Blue Dolphins, was ultimately brought to the mainland where she struggled to share her language and her people's songs with those who would listen. The protagonist in Dear Miss Karana, Tishmal, establishes a connection with Karana through the living traditions and vibrant language of her own tribe. Mr. Elliott has done a lovely job tying the past to the present and bringing them both alive for today's young readers.
And as a bonus, students can view the entire text - for free - in the language of Tishmal's people, the Luiseno tribe.

By sandra camarena
I just finished reading Island of the Ble Dolphins to my fourth grade class and happened across this title. I was intrigued and I received it as a birthday present and I loved it! I plan on reading this book to my students when we come back from Christmas break. The language is easy and kid friendly but what I found invaluable is that it provides a glimpse into the life of a present day Native American girl. Most students are not aware that there are still Native Americans living among us or that they continue to practice their customs and traditions. I am excited about sharing this book with my students. I especially liked the glossary to help with pronouncing the Luiseno words that are sprinkled throughout the text.

An important contribution to the growing body of literature for Indigenous youth.
By shel_m
Dear Miss Karana is a sweet but very important novel that I recommend highly for programming and curricula designed for Indigenous youth. I will certainly implement this book into programming for the Native youth I work with, but I think it would serve any schools and classrooms well, especially those in California. (Perhaps a unit on Dear Miss Karana could replace the often problematic Mission projects we endure in California elementary schools?!)
The epistolary form of the book makes it excellent to read aloud (It took me about an hour and a half to read the whole book out loud). Tíshmal is a wonderful, bright character and her use of the Luiseño language (Chamtéela) is inspiring to me as a Luiseńo descendant and language learner. I believe reading this book as a class, after-school program, or as a family will generate important conversations about the often overlooked or purely historicized Indigenous context of California, the role of elders and community, and the importance of Indigenous language revitalization.
Reading Dear Miss Karana was a very special experience. My only complaint is that it wasn't written 20 years earlier so I could have read it as a little girl! noşúun lóoviq, Eric Elliot, for this important contribution to the growing body of literature for Indigenous youth.
