From the publisher

Now in paperback!

An essential book of questions and answers for Native and non-Native young readers alike.

Ranging from "Why is there such a fuss about nonnative people wearing Indian costumes for Halloween?" to "Why is it called a 'traditional Indian fry bread taco'?" to "What's it like for natives who don't look native?" to "Why are Indians so often imagined rather than understood?", and beyond, Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask (Young Readers Edition) does exactly what its title says for young readers, in a style consistently thoughtful, personal, and engaging.

Updated and expanded to include:

* Dozens of New Questions and New Sections--including a social activism section that explores the Dakota Access Pipeline, racism, identity, politics, and more!
* Over 50 new Photos
* Adapted text for broad appeal

P R A I S E
Best of the Year: Chicago Public Library * Kirkus * Cooperative Children's Book Center

"A wide-ranging compendium of provocative questions and satisfying answers. Perfect for browsing or a deep dive."--San Francisco Chronicle

★ "Wise, well-researched, and not to be missed. This collection of short essays about Native Americans is comprehensive, equitable, and generous." --Kirkus (starred)

★ "Reading this book is like enjoying a talk with a close relative who wants you to learn, grow, and continue to ask questions. This book is an important resource about contemporary North American Indigenous peoples. -Recommend for all libraries."--School Library Journal (starred)
