Indigenous Peoples’ Day 2022 – Posters
Indigenous Peoples’ Day is October 10th, 2022, and we have 3 new posters celebrating this day
The Children’s Book Council is proud to have in its membership publishers of all sizes who publish children’s books by native voices, from Native Voices Publishers to the Heartdrum imprint at HarperCollins, and more.
The Get Caught Reading program makes posters available to classrooms, libraries, and bookstores where kids can see book lovers across several generations having fun reading. We’ve recently added three new posters:
Traci Sorell is a Cherokee Nation citizen and award-winning author of fiction and nonfiction for young people. Her first five books all received awards from the American Indian Library Association. Her nonfiction titles have also received two Sibert Honors, two Orbis Pictus Honors, and a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor. A former federal Indigenous law attorney, Traci lives on her tribe’s reservation in northeastern Oklahoma.
Heather Dawn Thompson (on the right), Director, Office of Tribal Relations, U.S. Department of Agriculture, reporting to the Secretary of Agriculture, is reading with her mother, Cleo Thompson; both are Lakota, enrolled members of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. They are reading Native Women Changing Their Worlds, by Patricia Cutright, Lakota, Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.
The Jo Jo Makoons series of books—written by Dawn Quigley and illustrated by Tara Audibert—is filled with the joy of a young Ojibwe girl discovering her very own special shine from the inside out. Tara Audibert is a multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker, cartoonist, animator, and podcaster. She owns and runs Moxy Fox Studio and is of Wolastoqey/French heritage. Dawn Quigley, Ph.D. and citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe, ND, is an author, educator, and former Indian Education program director.
