And Still the Turtle Watched
"Reading Rainbow" is a magazine program for children that introduces a wide range of educational topics that promote awareness of the world and inspire reading. In this episode, host LeVar Burton explains the important role nature has in Native American culture. Narrator Michael Ansara reads AND STILL ATHE TURTLE WATCHED, a book by Sheila MacGill-Callahan about how the natural world in America, once revered by Native Americans, has been slowly destroyed by Western industrialization and agriculture. Other features include a report on the Sutton Project, which is a conservation program that raises young bald eagle chicks in captivity to increase their chances for survival into adulthood, and a demonstration on how kids can plant trees and appreciate the environment. The kids review A RIVER RAN WILD, THIRTEEN MOONS ON TURTLE'S BACK, and MY FIRST GREEN BOOK.
