Notable Native People: 50 Indigenous Leaders, Dreamers, and Changemakers from Past and Present by Adrienne Keene
5.0
Notable Native People is a collection and historical identification of 50 prominent indigenous leaders. It’s unfathomable to me to look back in US history and see what can basically be termed as genocide of indigenous peoples.
“To be Indigenous is to be of a place, to have creation stories of how your people emerged from the land, and to be connected to a community from that place.”
I feel this 100%! I was born and raised in Hawaii, we come from a line tracing back to Native Hawaiians. I never realized the connection I felt with the land and the people until I moved away and came back to visit.
The stories in the book provides only a slight understanding of indigenous culture. But I gained a lot of insight into other Indigenous cultures. And it was also nice to see parts of my culture written down for others to enjoy!
This book is a must have and a must read!
