I recently finished <i>I can make this promise </i>a middle-grade #ownvoices novel<i> </i>by Christina Day and it is a super important and wonderful book and I highly recommend it for your collections. <br><br>This is slightly spoilery for the book but I digress .....it really highlighted for me that one of the reasons that kids think that they are a thing of the past is that the US government has actively participated in cultural genocide by sending children off to boarding school and then up until 1978 when children were forcibly taken from parents and put into foster care. So its no wonder that children are feeling the effects of this now and of course our schools will not highlight this less than ideal history. So I think that us bolstering our collections with Native own voices and resources is even more important. <br><br>So if anyone finds more books please share!<br><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#20124D;background:white'>Rashaa Al-Sasah, MLIS<br>Head of Teen Services<br>Pronouns:She/Her</span></i><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#20124D;background:white'>West Warwick Public library </span></i><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#20124D;background:white'>1043 Main St.</span></i><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#20124D;background:white'>West Warwick, RI 02893</span></i><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#20124D;background:white'>401-828-3750 ext.2</span></i><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>YART mailing list<br><a href="mailto:YART@listserve.ri.gov" target="_blank">YART@listserve.ri.gov</a><br><a href="http://listserve.ri.gov/mailman/listinfo/yart" target="_blank">http://listserve.ri.gov/mailman/listinfo/yart</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div><p class=MsoNormal><br clear=all><br>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Alyssa Taft, MLIS<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Teen Librarian<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Cranston Public Library<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>140 Sockanosset Cross Road</span><span style='color:#888888'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Cranston, RI 02920</span><span style='color:#888888'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>401-943-9080 </span><span style='color:#888888'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
