When I taught explorers in 4th grade I would read Encounter by Jane Yolen. A story of Columbus from the Taino point of view. As honest as you can get at that grade level. Great artwork. My South/Central American kids would tell me what their parents thought of the explorers. They were NOT in the explorer fan club. I love honest parents.
