      Gr 6-9-This noteworthy series sheds light on the often-overlooked history of Indigenous North Americans. With heartbreaking clarity, it unveils troubling post-colonization moments, such as the impact of Indian boarding schools aiming to eradicate Indigenous cultures in favor of a European, Christian lifestyle. The author, a member of the Oneida Nation, exposes a litany of historical horrors, including the struggles for citizenship, broken treaties, and the Indian Removal Act. Amid this unsettling history, readers discover the influential role of Native cooperative government in shaping the U.S. Constitution, celebrate Native American war heroes, and explore community involvement in modern politics. Despite delving into the darker aspects of history, the series is ultimately a testament to resilience. VERDICT A long overdue series.
