American Indian/Alaska Native Heritage

American Indian Heritage: Books for Middle and High School

Moccasin Thunder

Perhaps you are looking for a novel, poem, or memoir to complement a literature or Social Studies lesson. Or perhaps you are looking for a short story to engage a reluctant reader. These titles for young adult readers include something for everyone as they explore the memories and dreams of American Indians — young and old, past and present, male and female, loved and forgotten, uncertain and courageous.

Recommendations for younger readers are available in our American Indian children's literature section.
