Indigenous stories are all around us, but fewer than 1% of books published for kids in the U.S. are by Indigenous writers.US publishers are overwhelmingly ignoring the contributions of 574 Tribal Nations. The American Indian Youth Literature Award winners and honor books celebrate literature by Native authors and illustrators with the world. Each year AILA awards honor books by authors from different tribes and celebrates our thriving cultures, languages, and arts. This session will give an overview of the American Indian Youth Literature Awards, highlight the 2020 award winners, and reflect on the impact of the awards on kidlit publishing.

All registrants will receive a copy of the recording 7 days after the webinar.

Fun Survey

So, this week I don't have any heavy metadata things to report on.  Instead I have my survey from 23 Things.  It was very easy to set up and I think that it will be useful.  I will share the results with this blog in a week or so.  Please take the survey if you have time:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/embeddedform?formkey=dHkyQUwyVXhmYzJ5VzRYdVdYUUxKWmc6MQ  And, you can forward it to others as well. Thanks and have fun.
