SUMMARY:Native Voices Cover-to-Cover Project: Ensuring Indigenous Representation in Children?s Literature
DESCRIPTION:Date: 2024-01-15 \nLocation:  \n3001 Central Street \nEvanston\, \nIL \n60201 \nUnited States \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Mitchell Museum\, in partnership with the Evanston Public Library and Northwestern University Center for Native American and Indigenous Research\, kicks off a new project to ensure Indigenous representation in children’s literature at our first Native Book Fair on Monday\, January 15th\, 2024 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. \nTo make sure authentic Native literature is accessible to everyone\, we will offer a curated selection of six Native-authored books at no cost to families and children (ages 5-11) of all backgrounds. \nThe selection of six books and their themes undo harmful stereotypes and inaccurate information presented to Native and non-Native children in classrooms and libraries while amplifying the work of Indigenous authors who positively and authentically reflect the diversity and strengths of Native people and communities. \nBooks are free to take home for families. Books are limited and will be given on a first-come\, first-serve basis. \nTo participate and reserve your books\, please register in advance here:

SUMMARY:3rd Fridays Free Admission Museum Night
