Defending against the war on books by Native authors
Teachers, librarians, authors, and literary advocates are struggling to keep books about Native issues in public classrooms and libraries.

That’s because of the increasing momentum by groups intent on removing any references, however vague, that they deem to promote racial diversity. In Michigan, the Brandywine School District banned Laurel Goodluck’s children’s book Forever Cousins, an innocuous story about two Native relatives coping with living apart.

Join Native America Calling to get an updated list of banned Native books and what’s being done to get them in the hands of readers.
