November is Native American Heritage Month.
As shared on the US Department of the Interior Indian Affairs site,
National Native American Heritage Month is celebrated each year in November. It is a time to celebrate the traditions, languages and stories of Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and affiliated Island communities and ensure their rich histories and contributions continue to thrive with each passing generation. This November and every month, we celebrate the culture and heritage of these remarkable Americans who deeply enrich the quality and character of our Nation. We celebrate Indian Country with its remarkable diversity of American Indian and Alaska Native cultures and peoples while remembering and honoring our veterans who have sacrificed so much to defend our Nation.
You will also find wonderful Native American Heritage Month resources here from Library of Congress and others.
Our friends at Follett Content have also put together an amazing Titlewave® list with over 1000 books to introduce readers to Indigenous peoples and their contemporary descendants. There are so many I added to my Titlewave list full of books for Native American Heritage Month. I couldn't wait to share a few of my favorites with you on this choice board.
You will find the entire list here where you can add explore and add titles to your own Titlewave list for your library and readers.
