Native American Heritage

Books to celebrate, learn about, and honor Native American heritage.

Across the United States, we are reminded of the country's first inhabitants in the names of states and  towns and that we call home, the effigy mounds and stonework that dot the landscape, the artifacts we preserve, and the art, food, and people we see every day. While there are dedicated Native territories in Wisconsin, they are minuscule compared to the land from which Indigenous communities were displaced. We must always remember the importance and needs of the people who were here first, to read, learn from, and act to improve our relationship with Indigenous communities as long as we share their land.
