Laura Ingalls Wilder's name is being removed from a major literary award due to concerns over the "Little House On the Prairie" author's "stereotypical" attitudes towards minorities.

The change, reported by Fox News, comes following a vote by the Association for Library Service to Children to rename the "Laura Ingalls Wilder Award" to the "Children's Literature Legacy Award."

"This decision was made in consideration of the fact that Wilder's legacy, as represented by her body of work, includes expressions of stereotypical attitudes inconsistent with ALSC's core values of inclusiveness, integrity and respect, and responsiveness," the group said in a statement, adding all existing award pages will be changed to reflect the new name.

In its discussions, the ALSC pointed to Wilder's descriptions and characterizations of black and Native American characters as concerning.

Wilder is known for her eight-volume "Little House on the Prairie" series, released from 1932-1943, which detailed her childhood in a pioneer family. The first Ingalls award was given to the author herself in 1954 to honor "an author or illustrator whose books, published in the United States, have made, over a period of years, a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children."
