Each spread depicts the subject of a child’s project, capturing both historical and contemporary Native American experiences. Every child’s presentation drives home the fact that Native American History is still being made today.įans of We Are Grateful: Otsliheliga will be glad to find Frané Lessac’s familiar vibrant style continues into this companion book as well. On the first page we are introduced to some “familiar” history, but each child’s presentation will focus on topics after treaty making stopped in 1871, such as forced assimilation, religious freedom, and economic development. The book actually uses a Native-operated school as its backdrop as we follow a class working on their Indigenous Peoples’ Day project. Focusing mainly on the actions taken by the United States Government, this book shares many lessons currently taught in Native-operated schools today. We Are Still Here! is a nonfiction book documenting the challenges Native Nations have faced and the ways they continue to fight for their rights today.
