Welcome Educators!

Birchbark Books has a long-standing tradition of working with schools and educators interested in Native studies and of assisting educators in meeting the new Minnesota American Indian Academic Standards. We have strong working relationships with Native educational institutions in Minnesota, including tribal schools and colleges. Our diverse selection of Native American books includes fiction, memoir, poetry, history, and cultural and language revitalization.

We have compiled a specific selection of titles based on books that Native Studies departments within schools currently use and recommend, in addition to our own personal recommendations. Included are several book lists tailored to Minnesota American Indian Academic Standards, divided by grade level and subject area.
