The month of November draws an end to our community-wide read program, On the Same Page. It’s not over yet, though! There is still time to read Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and to join in on the discussion– find a list of our programs here.
Meanwhile, there is a plethora of literature out there that explores the experience of Native Americans across the country. Some of the best we’ve found is listed below. Read, learn, and enjoy.
