What educators are saying

I used this as a cross-curricular study during our unit on Indigenous Peoples. It fit perfectly and was easy to use/apply.

— MB M.

Rated 5 out of 5

The textbook that my district uses completely omits Native American Literature, so I knew I had to find something relevant and engaging. This assignment fit the bill. Students loved reading the different variety of texts.
