Start with Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz’s “An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States” There’s also classics like Dee Brown’s “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” and Vine Deloria Jr’s “Custer Died for Your Sins”

I saw the cutest/nicest thing today- my 1st grader was in the school play and during the play one kiddo forgot their line and another kiddo leaned over and whispered the line to them so they could say it. So sweet 🥹
