November is Native Heritage Month.
The Penn Native Community Council (PNCC), in collaboration with the Penn Libraries Collections Department, will explore some of the great works in the libraries collections that were created by people indigenous to the United States and North America.
With books ranging from academic sociological works to comedic essays, as well as films both documentary and fictional, these selections offer slices of life from a diversity of Native American communities and experiences.
More information on Native American initiatives at Penn is available through the Natives at Penn website.

The series is designed to introduce an essential component of education with encouraging civil debate, broadening the basis for critical thought and cultural understanding.
