The new book-banning trend
With some success, Native Americans have fought hard to have their voices heard in the narratives about them by predominantly non-Native sources.
Those gains are under assault by a new surge of efforts to ban books by Native authors and other works that challenge colonial conventional wisdom.
Monday on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce gets a sampling of books that well-meaning parents, administrators, and policy-makers want to keep off of school reading lists and public spaces.
