Resumen / Summary:

Un libro ilustrado, accesible y educativo, que presenta a 50 personalidades destacadas de origen indígena estadounidense, nativo de Alaska y nativo de Hawái; desde la estrella de la NBA Kyrie Irving, del pueblo Lakota de Standing Rock, hasta Wilma Mankiller, la primera mujer en ocupar el cargo de jefa principal de la Nación Cherokee.

¡Obra galardonada con una mención de honor en los premios de literatura juvenil de la American Indian Library Association!

Celebra las vidas, historias y contribuciones de artistas, activistas, científicos, atletas y otros agentes de cambio indígenas en esta colección magníficamente ilustrada.

Esta colección, poderosa e informativa, también ofrece introducciones accesibles a temas indígenas de gran relevancia: desde el legado del colonialismo y la apropiación cultural hasta la soberanía alimentaria, los derechos sobre la tierra y el agua, y mucho más. Una lectura indispensable para personas de cualquier origen que deseen aprender sobre el patrimonio, la historia y las culturas de los pueblos nativos americanos; Notable Native People educará e inspirará a lectores de todas las edades. /
