November Staff Picks: Native Creations
Reading Room, Second Floor
"In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, we present a collection of works commemorating the historical, contemporary, and continuing creativity of Native American communities. Fighting against a historically biased representation of Indigenous art as “primitive” or as irrelevant to the modern day, the authors and creators on display in this collection show that creativity is still a strong and vibrant part of Native cultures. From Joseph Bruchac’s tale of a girl quarantined at her grandparents’ in Rez Dogs to the “trickster discourse” in Allen J. Ryan’s The Trickster Shift, there’s bound to be something to pique your interest."
-- Ria Brumbaugh, she/her/hers, Library Associate
