We Are Still Here! Native American Truths Everyone Should Know by Traci Sorell (2021) is a book for all ages. The ‘story’ is in the form of one-page class presentations. Each student in a classroom researches and then presents on a topic relevant to Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The topics are: assimilation, allotment, Indian New Deal, termination, relocation, tribal activism, self-determination, Indian Child Welfare & Education, religious freedom, economic development, language revival, and sovereign resurgence. Frene Lessac illustrates each assignment as a two-page spread. The text is brief, taking only half page. At the back of the book are More Information, a TimeLine from 1870 to 2007, Glossary of Terms, Sources, and Author’s Note.
