In its efforts to support Indian Education for All in Montana’s public libraries, the Office of Public Instruction’s Indian Education Division has produced a series of discussion questions related to select American Indian literary works. The questions were written by Dorothea M. Susag (Dottie) to be included in the American Indian Literature "book bags" that OPI provided to libraries in 2008. They are highly useful to book clubs, reading groups, and anyone interested in reading, thinking about, and discussing American Indian literature.

 Dottie is the author of several published essays and the
1998 NCTE publication, Roots and Branches: A Resource of Native
American Literature Themes, Lessons, and Bibliographies. She
conducts classes and workshops for teachers at conferences and in
schools across Montana in Writing Assessment, Technical Writing,
and K-12 American Indian Literatures and Resources. Dottie
currently works part-time for the Montana Office of Public
Instruction, Indian Education division, to help meet the goals of
“Indian Education for All” in all Montana classrooms. This includes
units she’s written for OPI’s Indian Education Language Arts
curriculum. Dottie lives with her husband, a retired school
counselor, on a small ranch in central Montana.
