Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask (Young Readers' Edition)
Anton Treuer is a renowned author, speaker, language preservationist, scholar, etc. This young readers' edition of the original book for adults from a university press includes new material for the younger lens. Organized by dozens of different questions, some weighty and some minor, but all the time funny, insightful, personal, and interesting, this book will tell you everything you ever wanted to learn about Native Americans, but were afraid to ask.
From the acclaimed Ojibwe author and professor Anton Treuer comes an essential book of questions and answers for Native and non-Native young readers alike. Ranging from Why is there such a fuss about nonnative people wearing Indian costumes for Halloween? to Why is it called a 'traditional Indian fry bread taco'? to What's it like for natives who don't look native? to Why are Indians so often imagined rather than understood?, and beyond, Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask (Young Readers' Edition) does exactly what its title says for young readers, in a style consistently thoughtful, personal, and engaging.
Adapted from the 2012 adult version of the book, this edition has been updated and expanded to include:
- Dozens of new questions and new sections—including a social activism section that explores the Dakota Access Pipeline, racism, identity, politics, and more!
- Over 50 new photos
- Adapted text for broad appeal
