A parent would reach for this book when they want to move beyond stereotypical Thanksgiving myths and help their child understand the continuous, living history of Indigenous peoples. It is perfect for those moments when a child asks about the history of the land they live on or after they have learned an oversimplified version of Native American history in school. The book frames history through the lens of sovereignty and resilience, showing that Native nations are not people of the past, but active participants in the present day. Through a series of school presentations, the narrative explores heavy themes like forced relocation and boarding schools, but balances them with the strength of tribal activism and cultural revitalization.
