Native Literature Challenge 2021 - hosted by nativegirlsreading

Native Nonfiction
When I think Native nonfiction, I think of a collection of lyric essays or memoir. But I encourage you to think expansively in your selection: you can choose investigative journalism or a history book or something else based on real life.
