Native American Lives Series book giveaway


by Beth Staats

Quick Summary

The Native American Lives Series features Dakota and Ojibwe leaders, artists, and elders who shaped Minnesota and the nation. Co-edited by Heid E. Erdrich and Gwen Nell Westerman, it is designed for grades 4–8.

An illustration of three Native American people from Minnesota, each representing a different profession or interest. On the left, a man holds a baseball; in the center, a woman stands at a podium with the Seal of the State of Minnesota, holding her hand up as if taking an oath; on the right, a woman with long braids holds a stack of books. Each figure has a stylized vertical line down the center of their face, and the overall art style is vibrant and hand-drawn.
