We Are Still Here!: Native American Truths Everyone Should Know by Traci Sorell
4.0
Great introduction to major areas of Native American history in the United States. Definitely leaves the reader with a lot of questions, and could be used with late elementary, middle, and high schoolers as an introduction before a research project on various events, laws, policies, or treaties.
Set up as "Indigenous People's Day Project" presentation night, each spread is one student's presentation. Each presentation ends with "...Native Nations say, 'We are still here!'"
Topics are:
Assimilation
Allotment
Indian New Deal
Termination
Relocation
Tribal Activism
Self-Determination
Indian Child Welfare & Education
Religious Freedom
Economic Development
Language Revival
Sovereign Resurgence
Includes backnotes on each spread and explanation of each illustration, and a time line from 1870-2007. Also includes a glossary of terms, source list, and author's note (as well as introduction).
