Books like A kid's guide to native American history by Yvonne Wakim Dennis

A kid’s guide to Native American history blends education with creativity, offering hands‑on activities, games, and crafts that explore the customs, histories, and everyday lives of diverse Indigenous peoples. Covering nine geographical areas—such as the Mohawk in the Northeast, Ojibway in the Midwest, Shoshone in the Great Basin, Apache in the Southwest, Yup'ik in Alaska, and Native Hawaiians—the book presents vivid illustrations and practical projects. Children can craft Iroquois corn‑husk dolls, play Washoe stone jacks, design Inupiat sun goggles, or create a Hawaiian ma’o‑hau‑hele bag, while learning about key events like first European encounters, Indian removal, the Mohawk skywalkers, and Navajo code talkers. The companion timeline, glossary, and numerous recommendations for websites, books, movies, and museums encourage further exploration of this rich cultural heritage.
