From an award-winning author-illustrator team, Indigenous from A to Z offers a bold, beautiful, authentic view of Indigenous peoples’ history, culture, values, and future–essential for Native American Heritage Month and all year round.
Welcome to Indigenous from A to Z, a stunning alphabetical introduction to the rich history of Native peoples across the USA. Letter by letter, award-winning author Traci Sorell (Cherokee) offers terms that speak to both the vast diversity among Native Nations and the many connections they share, building an essential foundation of understanding for young readers. From the past shown in B is for Before 1492 and C is for Colonialism, to the vibrant culture revealed in J is for Joking and M is for Music, to the dynamic future promised by O is for Organize and R is for Reclaim, this powerful book captures the legacy and living history of Indigenous peoples today.
The sweeping illustrations by artist Natasha Donovan (M?tis) encompass both the vastness of the changes Indigenous people have experienced and the specificity of individual artists, scientists, and other significant figures. Rich backmatter explains the visual and textual references.
The book concludes with a Z to A listing of twenty-six Native Nations, coming full circle to say:
We’re surviving, Striving towards thriving, and Indigenous to this land–Always.
