Native to This Land

From the Series Spotlight on Social Justice
Hundreds of Indigenous nations call North America home—and have since before the countries that make up the continent formed.
Indigenous peoples across North America have experienced centuries of struggle and resilience in the face of colonization and oppression. Their journey emphasizes the importance of connection to land, tradition, and community while challenging the narratives imposed by colonial powers.
Native to This Land uncovers the rich tapestry of Indigenous histories, highlighting the enduring spirit that continues to thrive. As Native nations navigate the complexities of identity, culture, and sovereignty, their experiences reflect a powerful story of survival and resistance. This examination of Indigenous rights shows an evolving landscape where the struggle for justice and self-determination is as crucial as ever.

Reviews
School Library Journal
“A thought-provoking survey of current social justice issues, this series provides students with background information on civil rights issues. . . . Recommended for collections seeking engaging resources to support classroom discussion and student research on social justice topics.”—School Library Journal
Booklist
“Offers a rich opportunity for critical thinking about a variety of contemporary and historical matters. . . Nuanced debates throughout the series suggest that assumptions that have been made about disenfranchised groups, governments, human bodies, and reliance upon animals need to be reexamined. Each book suggests a range of actions engaged readers can take: education, advocacy, activism, and collaboration.”—starred, Booklist
