The Inside Guide: Famous Native Americans (Group 2)

Book excerpt: Many Indigenous heroes shaped history, defended their cultures, and left a lasting mark on the world. However, for many years, leaders such as Black Elk, Osceola, and Tecumseh were ignored or recast as villains in the stories of white Americans. This series seeks to shine a light on the power of leadership, resistance, and the pursuit of justice in the face of adversity, inspiring readers to explore the rich tapestry of Native American history. The age-appropriate main text, augmented with in-depth sidebars and historical black-and-white photographs, gives young readers a better understanding of the nuances of American history.
