Abstract
In this episode, we are joined by Traci Sorell, an author and citizen of the Cherokee Nation, and Dr. Colleen Boff, Head Librarian of BGSU's Curriculum Resource Center. Listen as they discuss the importance of representing contemporary and historical Native American stories and nations in public education and children’s literature. This conversation focuses on the importance of diversity and inclusion in books about native peoples, and the need for multicultural stories. They speak on the erasure of tribal stories in historical education, libraries, and book publishing.
