Indigenous Peoples of North America
Set of 12 titles
This series invites young readers to explore the cultures, histories, and present-day lives of major tribal nations and cultural groups across North America. Written by Indigenous author and public historian, Heather Bruegl, a citizen of the Oneida Nation and first-line descendent Stockbridge-Munsee, this series provides a simple, authentic introduction to diverse peoples who have called this continent home for thousands of years—and are still here today. Readers are prompted to Look, Think, Ask Questions, Make a Guess, and Create as they learn, while a Say Hello! feature in each title invites readers to learn to greet each other in Indigenous languages.
