Gaining U.S. Citizenship - Paperback

by Heather Bruegl (Author)

The journey towards full citizenship was long and winding for Indigenous peoples in the United States. Readers will come to understand how legal status affected the lives and opportunities of Indigenous peoples throughout American history. The Racial Justice in America: Indigenous Peoples series explores the issues specific to the Indigenous communities in the United States in a comprehensive, honest, and age-appropriate way. This series was written by Indigenous historian and public scholar Heather Bruegl, a citizen of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and a first-line descendent Stockbridge Munsee. The series was developed to reach children of all races and encourage them to approach race, diversity, and inclusion with open eyes and minds.
