November is Native American Heritage Month! It's a time to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories of tribes and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native peoples. 

Here are some works by Native American Authors that you can check out from the library ⬇️ 
 
Traci Sorell
Before she began writing for children, Traci focused on helping Native Nations and their citizens. She wrote legal codes, testimony for Congressional hearings, federal budget requests, grants, and reports. Now, she continues that work by writing stories for young people and encouraging other Native writers and illustrators. As a child, Traci never read culturally accurate books about Cherokee or other Indigenous peoples. In the stories and poems she now writes, such as We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga and We Are Still Here! she adds to the canon of Native Nations literature, showing that their citizens continue to exist and thrive today.

Tommy Orange
There There, the debut novel by Tommy Orange, explores a side of America few of us have ever seen and grapples with the history of a nation. Inspired by the poverty of stories about urban Native Americans, Orange penned a remarkable work that explores the lives of those who have inherited a profound spirituality but that also leaves them particularly vulnerable to the afflictions of addiction, abuse, and suicide
