Indian No More, by Traci Sorell, Charlene Willing McManis
5.0
This book must be on your TBR. This is what we need - books written by #OwnVoices that gives authenticity and actual understanding to all voices.
This story is based loosely on the life of the author. She has crafted pieces of her own history into this beautiful and often heartwrenching story about a Native American family whose tribe was terminated and relocated by the American government. This story takes place when the family must leave their reservation located in Oregon and relocate and integrate into the 1960s era of Los Angeles. "Indian no more" and now the family must become "Americans"... a strange concept to kids who are just beginning to understand their own identity.
