Indigenous Heritage Reading Lists
The Berkeley Unified School District honors and celebrates the history, contemporary issues and culture of the Indigenous People of the Americas. In November 2020, the BUSD Board of Education passed a resolution to annually recognize the month of November as Indigenous People’s Heritage Month.
These reading lists, organized by grade level, represent books published in the last 5 years that are devoted to celebrating, representing, and affirming Indigenous heritage, featuring Indigenous authors, characters and the North American Indigenous experience.
All of these books are available through Berkeley school libraries as a physical and/or digital book. If an ebook is available through Sora, you can access it by clicking the cover of the book. For more information about any of these books, or to check one of them out, ask your school librarian.
