Happy Friday, Readers!
November is Native American Heritage Month! 
Recommend a book written by an Indigenous author that other readers should check out.
There There by Tommy Orange
Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley - which I believe was on BookishFirst

I’m almost finished with Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. She is a biologist by livelihood, but views everything through the lens of her Potawatomi upbringing…and other tribes she’s interacted with and gained wisdom from through her years. A friend of mine who I’ll describe under a general field biologist term suggested it to me a while back and thought this was a good time to read it. I’m enjoying it, except for her view on ducks.

I don’t have anything in my TBR pile right now, but I do love the First North Americans, North America’s Forgotten Past and The Battle for America series by Michael Gear and Kathleen O’Neal Gear. I especially like the First North Americans, as they are all standalone novels. (and at last count, I think there are 29 of them! “People of the Mist” is my favorite!
Five little Indians by Michelle Good was an excellent recent read.
