Free Indigenous Voices Virtual Conference

Following the successful 2021 debut of this conference subtitled: "Authentic Children's Literature in the Classroom and Library," Dr. Debbie Reese shared in a recent ALSC blog post news about this year's conference. Scheduled on May 24 and 25, the conference features a stellar group of Native writers.

Dr. Reese writes: "Indigenous Voices 2021 and Indigenous Voices 2022 reflect what I view as a new moment in children and young adult literature. In some ways it feels like we’re on the cusp of no longer having to say “we are still here.” I’m so grateful to people like Jonathan Hunt at San Diego County Office of Education, and Joely Proudfit (Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians) at CICSC for making the 2022 event happen.

Sign up for this free two day event! Register at https://sdcoe.k12oms.org/900-215459. And encourage your friends and colleagues to sign up, too. And make sure you get and promote books by Native writers."
