During November, we celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Native Peoples.

All the historic data you could ever want about America's earliest inhabitants. Great site to set students free on a Wonder Journey to create great questions in their minds.
The United States celebrates Native American Heritage Month in November during which National Geographic acknowledges the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. This collection celebrates the history, accomplishments, culture, and lives of American Indians.

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. Dr. Jean Mendoza joined AICL as a co-editor in 2016.
