NDN Book Nerd, (Quiet Quail Books), Los Angeles, Calif.: "Our stories deserve to be read every month, not just during #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth. this is something that even I, as a California Indian (Maara’yam & Kumeyaay desc) girl didn’t understand growing up.... it was never encouraged in my classroom, in the library, or in my personal life! but since starting my bookstagram and my bookstore @quietquailbooks, i have beyond expanded my familiarity with stories like mine & completely different to mine! Indigenous peoples are certainly not a monolith, sometimes a month like this can enable that misconception. Our tribes certainly have similarities, but sooooo many aspects of our tribal identities are unique! i still believe in seizing the opportunity for a month like this to have critical conversations about Indigenous realities!! this stack of books are some of the books i’ve read as a result of my 2 1/2 years in the book community & i even got to recommend them for @librofm. thanks for spending this #NAHMTour day 2 with me & i challenge you that on december 1st and every 1st of the month here after that Native authors are always considered for your TBR."
