Thank you for this information. I would love to see Roxanne Dunbar-Ortez’s book, “An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States for Young People” added to this list. I bought a copy of the book last year and currently my oldest daughter has it. She normally home schools three of her children and now is home schooling all five of them.
