The early 1900's continued to mark a dark time in our US history, as Indigenous children were stripped of their native heritage and culture and sent to boarding schools, where they tried to eradicate everything about their lives as Native Americans. Wenonah and her Grandfather will discover ways that Wenonah can remember her Ojibwe heritage even though the world is changing for them all.</p><br></p>Each story in the <em>Tales from American HerStory </em>also includes an historical page with additional information about the story, which is based on a morsel of American history shared from the perspective of a girl protagonist. This story also includes a glossary of Ojibwe words used in the book, and it was carefully and beautifully created with intense guidance and support from Lac Du Flambeau tribal consultants. It is an important book for sharing a more inclusive story of American history with children in an appropriate manner. </p><p><br></p>
