Do you recommend, SPEAKING OUR TRUTH by Monique Gray Smith? Native author with three starred reviews? An oversight?
It is focused on Canada. I think if you are teaching in Canada it is a good buy, but not much in the book about US tribes.
This might be unique to where I live--the reservation I'm nearby actually straddles the Canadian border--but I did just have a teacher here comment that Speaking Our Truth was helpful to some of her students in talking about experiences that are shared or analogous between the First Nations in Canada and here, as if the slight geographical remove made some subjects a little bit "safer."
