Book description
From the acclaimed Ojibwe author and professor Anton Treuer comes an essential book of questions and answers for Native and non-Native young readers alike. Ranging from "Why is there such a fuss about nonnative people wearing Indian costumes for Halloween?" to "Why is it called a 'traditional Indian fry bread taco'?" to "What's it like for natives who don't look native?" to "Why are Indians so often imagined rather than understood?", and beyond, Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask (Young Readers Edition) does exactly what its title says for young readers, in a style consistently thoughtful, personal, and engaging. Updated and expanded to include: * Dozens of New Questions and New Sections--including a social activism section that explores the Dakota Access Pipeline, racism, identity, politics, and more! * Over 50 new Photos * Adapted text for broad appeal P R A I S E GOLDEN KITE AWARD WINNER CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY'S BEST OF THE BEST KIRKUS' BEST OF THE YEAR ABC GROUP BEST BOOKS FOR YOUNG READERS TLA'S 2022 TEXAS TOPAZ READING LIST CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY'S BEST TEEN BOOK COVERS OF THE YEAR ILLUMINATIVE CHILDREN'S BOOK GIFT GUIDE AICL'S BEST BOOKS OF 2021 A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD SELECTION 2022 TEXAS TOPAZ SELECTION CYBILS AWARDS FINALIST CCBC CHOICES "A wide-ranging compendium of provocative questions and satisfying answers.
