These are a few books about Indigenous culture that my grandmother gave me, plus two National Geographic Kids magazines and a Lego Magazine.
(Please do not give them back! My bookshelf is super cluttered! π΅βπ«)
(Taken from back of book:)
"THE MIGHTY MUSKRATS ARE BACK WITH A CHILLY NEW MYSTERY!"
Windy Lake First Nation [this is a term used for Indigenous/Native Americans in Canada who are neither Inuit nor Metis] is hosting the annual Trappers Festival, and the four Mighty Muskrats are excited about the dogsled races and the chance to visit with family and friends from far and wide. But during the Teen Dogsled Race, the lead dog is the victim of a frightening accident that may be more than it seems.
1: ( From back of book, as for the other two books:)
"Morgan and Eli, two Indigenous children forced away from their families and communities, are brought together in a foster home in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They feel disconnected, from their culture and each other, and struggle to fit in at school and at their new home - until they find a secret place, walled off in an unfinished attic bedroom. A portal opens to another reality, Aski, bringing them onto frozen, barren grounds, where they meet Ochek (Fisher)." (BTW for some reason they don't say this on the back cover, but everyone they meet in Aski is a talking animal on two legs)
2:
"Back at home after their first adventure in the Barren Grounds, Eli and Morgan each struggle with personal issues: Eli is being bullied at school, and tries to hide it from Morgan, while Morgan has to make an important decision about her birth mother. They turn to the place where they know they can learn the most, and make the journey to Misewa to visit their animal friends."
3:
"After discovering a near lifeless Eli at the base of the Great Tree, Morgan knows she doesn't have much time to save him. And it will mean asking for help - from friends old and new."
