We've Been Here the Whole Time!: A Not So Sacred Guide to All Things Native America

Foreword by Shane Hawk, writer and co-editor of Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology!

Put away the construction paper: This contraband book is here to teach you everything your high school refused to teach about Native American history, people, and culture. From misunderstood figures like Pocahontas, to sports mascots, to the Land Back movement, to how cool Lily Gladstone is, this hilarious NDN-approved guide is the first of its kind--illustrated in an irreverent, textbook-meets-notebook style by DinÃ(c) artist Julie Fiveash. Sharewith your loved ones and transform your boring Thanksgiving into a big "You're Welcome" dance party!

Joey Clift (Cowlitz tribe) walks you through a wide range of information that will answer provocative questions and debunk Americans' wildest assumptions, like:

• "Native American" or "American Indian" What the heck do we call you?
• Is it appropriate to do a Land Acknowledgement over Zoom?
• Why saying "I'm 1/16th Cherokee" is like saying you're "1/16th Californian'
• Columbus Day is a holiday for a guy who was bad at pretty much everything
• Are Native American people extinct? No! Stop asking!
