The Very First Americans

The Very First Americans is an accessible, illustrated introduction to the many Indigenous peoples who called North America home long before European contact, exploring where different tribes lived across the continent, what they ate, how they celebrated, and how their communities are thriving today. From the Sioux of the Great Plains to the Hopi of the Southwest and the Seminole of the Southeast, this All Aboard Book introduces dozens of First Nations groups in an engaging and age-appropriate way.

This book is a wonderful choice for students because it builds respectful awareness of Indigenous American history and diversity, making it an ideal starting point for social studies lessons on Native American peoples and their lasting contributions to American culture and life.
