Read Native Challenge 2021

Here's a wonderful way to encourage reading AND support and recognize Indigenous authors, scientists, legislators, storytellers, and creators.

The American Indian Library Association created the Read Native Challenge that encourages youth (and adults) to read books and articles by and about Native Americans.

Throughout the year, find and read books and publications by and about Native Americans, visit tribal websites, search peer-reviewed scholarly journals, visit Native-owned bookstores, and check with Native librarians for all of the best sources for learning more about Native Americans and Indigenous people around the world.

Booklists and author lists will be added to the AILA website throughout the year. 

Read more about how the process works by visiting Read Native Challenge.

Also, be sure to check out the American Indian Youth Literature Awards too! Every school library should be using this awards list to enrich and diversify its collection.
