Children's Literature

November is Native American Heritage Month in the United States, but it's important to recognize the contributions, cultures, and stories of the Indigenous Peoples of North America year-round. Below is a selection of books by Indigenous authors & illustrators featuring Indigenous characters. Hover over the title for a brief overview, and click on the title to be taken to the listing in the catalog, where you can find more information such as location and call number. If you want to find additional print books, email the subject librarian or connect to a librarian around the clock using our Ask Us 24/7 chat service.

For in-depth book reviews, check out the AICL Blog. Established in 2006 by Dr. Debbie Reese of Nambé Pueblo, American Indians in Children's Literature (AICL) provides critical analysis of Indigenous peoples in children's and young adult books.
