"Jimmy Beason brought history of Native American pioneers and leading people lucidly for young learners. The contributions of Native American leading persons are artistically narrated, with impressive details and illustrations. Native Americans in History will introduce kids to natives' history and also to those inclined to know about native achievers' legacy in history." --Bina Sengar, professor in Indigenous history and founder Rural South Asia www.ruralsouthasia.org
"Jimmy Beason has brilliantly shown that learning Native history from a Native perspective is an invaluable experience. While this book is directed at children, I believe that any reader will benefit from the language and stories in this book. Native Americans in History offers insight and will absolutely provoke future inquiries as to the incredible hardships and triumphs Native peoples have experienced in both the past and present." --S.A. Lawrence-Welch, Indigenous advocate, organizer, speaker, activist, artist, and writer
