Native American Heritage Month:  As we continue to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of Native Americans to the United States, another book will be featured that can be found in the Heritage Media Center. Rez Dog by Joseph Bruchac describes Malian, an eighth grade Penacook girl, who visits her grandparents, who live on a reservation, during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this verse novel, Bruchac takes a look at life in lockdown through the eyes of Malian, who copes with boredom, isolation, and the need to find her place by befriending a dog, whom she names Malsum (Wolf). Check out other books about and by Native Americans in the Indigenous People Collection in Destiny Discover.
