Description
Native comedian Joey Clift takes you on a hilarious journey to discover the largest population you don't know in this sharp debut for fans of Michael Harriot and Phoebe Robinson.
Put away the construction paper: this contraband book contains everything your high school refused to teach you about Native American history, people, and culture—illustrated in an irreverent textbook-meets-notebook style by Diné artist Julie Fiveash.
Comedian Joey Clift (Cowlitz tribe) walks you through a wide range of misconceptions, weird questions, and even weirder assumptions, covering everything from Pocahontas and sports mascots to ancestry claims and the Land Back movement.
Pick up this conversation-starting book and turn your boring Thanksgiving into a fun “You're Welcome” dance party!
