November is Native American Heritage Month! This month provides us with a valuable opportunity to honor and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Native American peoples. In recognizing this month, we acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the Chumash people, who have stewarded these coastal areas from Malibu to San Luis Obispo, including the Channel Islands, for centuries.
A great way to celebrate and acknowledge Native American Heritage Month is by reading literature with Native American representation and learning about some notable people with Native American heritage.
We have chosen four books to recommend for each division. We hope you can either check them out from our school library or purchase them and add them to your own library. Diversifying our libraries and literature is important when we are learning about the world we live in, where we come from, and the different people and cultures we will interact with.
